The Lanchester Legacy
Volume 1 (1895 to 1931)
A4 size, 287pages with 285 b/w, 64 colour plates
"The amazing lives and achievements of Frederick, George and Frank Lanchester are described by the official Lanchester Historian, C S Clark.
Volume 1 has been painstakingly built up from collections of documents and photographs, many of them previously unpublished, and from the personal and affectionate recollections of those who remembered events at first hand.
The Lanchester Legacy re-lives the challenge of developing and testing Frederick Lanchester's theories on powered flight and the fundamentals of aircraft design from the early 1890s, the sense of excitement the brothers must have felt when unveiling the first, all-British, motor boat in 1894, the design and construction of arguably the first, all-British, four-wheel, petrol car in 1895 and the evolution of all the innovative Lanchester vehicles that followed.
The Lanchester Legacy takes us back to the beginnings of features which are now taken for granted: vibration-less and high reving engines, four-wheel drive, turbo-charging, fuel-injection, power-steering, disc-brakes, pneumatic tyres, the humble accelerator pedal and why so many features of the modern car, after over 100 years of development, are directly contributable to the Lanchester brothers.
Importantly, The Lanchester Legacy chronicles the wealth of evidence for placing Dr. Frederick Lanchester among the greatest of the great British minds that have shaped the world"..
