Title: Lancia machining, Lambda era, in print Post by: GG on 02 July, 2010, 11:52:39 AM In 1928 and 1929, American Machinist published a detailed series of articles on Lancia. At this time, Lancia was making Lambdas, and these many and detailed articles provide an inside look at state-of-the-art machining and fabrication techniques in Turin. They include making of steering boxes, pistons, conrods, blocks, heads, plant organization, building the body frame, etc.
The articles have been scanned from the Library of Congress microfiche, and assembled into a modest printed volume. Also included are some other interesting articles - on Lancia’s V12s of 1917 and 1919 and an extensive report on the 1931 Dilambda. The volume can be bought either in print or PDF: https://www.lulu.com/commerce/index.php?fBuyContent=8841757 (https://www.lulu.com/commerce/index.php?fBuyContent=8841757) or further info: http://web.me.com/geoffreyg/Cars/Blog/Entries/2010/6/26_Publication_-_Machinery.html (http://web.me.com/geoffreyg/Cars/Blog/Entries/2010/6/26_Publication_-_Machinery.html) Geoff |
