Motorcycle trailers Pav, Jiří Bartuš

A novelty is coming to bookshelves in the Retro edition, because motorcycle sidecars form an integral, but little-known part of Czechoslovak motoring history. The book provides readers with a comprehensive picture of the history of the use of sidecars in conjunction with motorcycles, which was a direct and logical consequence of the specific post-war development of motoring in Czechoslovakia. The specificity of Czechoslovak development is confirmed by the fact that in no other country has the use of motorcycle sidecars been so widespread as in Czechoslovakia. The book's advantage is a detailed mapping of the development of motorcycle sidecars in Czechoslovakia, both directly of the PAv sidecars, whose purposeful and yet very tasteful and timeless design embodied the materialization of efforts to use the motorcycle as a full-fledged means of transport, as well as of predecessors and also of amateur-built sidecars, for which the PAv sidecars were an inspiration. Individual sidecars are described in detail and appropriately documented photographically. Based on the processing of many period documents, the book also provides information on the practical operation of carts, their maintenance and repairs.

Product description

George Bartus

V edici Retro přichází na knižní pulty novinka, protože motocyklové vozíky tvoří nedílnou, avšak veřejnosti málo známou část československé motoristické historie. Kniha čtenářům přináší ucelený obraz o historii využívání vozíků ve spojení s motocykly, které bylo přímým a logickým důsledkem specifického poválečného rozvoje motorismu v Československu. Specifičnost československého vývoje potvrzuje fakt, že v žádné jiné zemi nedošlo k takovému rozšíření využívání motocyklových vozíků jako právě v Československu. Předností knihy je podrobné zmapování vývoje motocyklových vozíků v Československu, a to jak přímo vozíků PAv, jejichž účelný a přitom velice vkusný a nadčasový design v sobě nesl zhmotnění snah o využití motocyklu jako plnohodnotného dopravního prostředku, tak i předchůdců a též vozíků amatérských konstrukcí, pro které byly vozíky PAv inspirací. Jednotlivé vozíky jsou dopodrobna popsány a patřičně fotograficky zdokumentovány. Na základě zpracování mnoha dobových dokumentů uvádí kniha též informace o praktickém provozování vozíků, o jejich údržbě a opravách.

Československé tankové síly 1945 – 1992, Vladimír Francev
Československé tankové síly 1945 – 1992, Vladimír Francev
Czechoslovak Tank Forces 1945 – 1992, Vladimír Francev

The author, who has already made his mark on readers' consciousness as a specialist and expert in mobile military equipment through the content of previous publications, has compiled an almost fifty-year history of tank units that formed the main striking force of the post-war Czechoslovak army. The text describes the individual phases of the development of armored vehicles in terms of design and progress, production base, organizational structure and expected use. Above all, political aspects influenced the development, production and internal army organization, but also the entire operation of the national economy, which in peacetime produced hundreds of tanks during the year at high financial costs and human resources. Statistics of domestic production with stunning numbers prove possible competition with the largest superpowers, such as the then USSR and the USA. The clear chronological form of the individual types, as well as the entire content of the new book, will refresh the memories of all who have mastered the described equipment, will delight experts, historians and expand the knowledge of fans and members of military clubs.

Naše motocykly - IV. díl Československo G-L 1918 - 1953, Libor Marčík
Our Motorcycles – Part IV Czechoslovakia GL 1918 – 1953, Libor Marčík

Another part of the extensive work of the author and historian. Already on the page with the contents, the reader will find out that in a sector of only seven letters in alphabetical order, there were 72 motorcycle brands operating in our republic. Small locksmith workshops that produced a single motorcycle or applied a drive unit to a bicycle frame are also captured. Rarely preserved materials have been enriched here with high-quality processing, from graphic preparation to the selection of materials used. The publication will once again significantly advance detailed knowledge of the history of motorcycle production. Libor Marčík's representative publications are always a suitable gift for all motorists, regardless of age or focus.

Kouzlo karoserie – Václav Zapadlík
The magic of bodywork – Václav Zapadlík

Maestro Zapadlík has finally been persuaded and, with the help of friends, has created a review of his own works. In the first lines he defends the motivation for creating another pleasing work, which is still not a comprehensive review of his entire work. The Maestro stated literally: "„The publication was inspired by the response of those readers who appreciate the drawing in its often simple line. Therefore, the decision to publish the drawings that were created for a number of magazines more than twenty years ago is a kind of retrospective. In times when the reproduction of an image was difficult and often on very poor quality paper, black and white drawing was probably a good solution for illustrating sometimes even the technical details of cars and their parts.“Views of the delicate shapes of Zapadlík's car bodies can transport the reader to another world and influence aesthetic perception.

Naše motocykly - III. díl Československo A-F 1918 - 1953, Libor Marčík
Our Motorcycles – Part III Czechoslovakia AF 1918 – 1953, Libor Marčík

Libor Marčík has already proven his authorial qualities in two previous works on motorcycle history and, in addition to his two recent publications, is now publishing, again at his own expense, another descriptive continuation of Czechoslovak motorcycle history. Years of painstaking work searching in the period press, in state and private archives, as well as examining entries in Latin, German or even in Hungarian-written books written in many registries are rewarded on graphically well-crafted pages. Long-forgotten manufacturers who sought ways of technical development through piece production are listed alphabetically. The carefully crafted text, supplemented by many original photographs, will delight historians and laymen alike, and in the company of the previous two works, a hint of a future complete history of motorcycle production from the times of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to the Czech Republic will begin to emerge in many libraries.

Obojživelné automobily: historie, technika, rozdělení, úpravy, Ivan Mackerle
Amphibious cars: history, technology, classification, modifications, Ivan Mackerle

The automobile has always belonged on the road. From the very beginning, when it came into practical use, there were also daredevils who, after modifications, tried to conquer water on their own. The publication is a guide with illustrations, but also an encyclopedia of amphibious vehicles. It maps the area of military, off-road and passenger vehicles capable of overcoming watercourses under their own power. This part of automotive history and the present has not yet been processed on the domestic book market. The content explains the theoretical foundations of vehicle movement in water, through the history of the emergence of amphibians to the technical parameters of military, off-road and passenger amphibious vehicles from the pre-war period to the present. The authors also recall remarkable amateur creations and expeditions. Recommended reading for adventurous natures, but perhaps also a non-standard topic for planning a vacation for next year.

Světem motocyklových čtyřválců, Miloslav Straka
The world of four-cylinder motorcycles, Miloslav Straka

The author has compiled the history of the development and production of four-cylinder engines for motorcycles from the first preserved types. After a three-page introduction to the subject, there is the first of the structurally interesting motorcycles with a four-cylinder engine, where we also have a proud world first: the Laurin & Klement with an in-line four-cylinder engine made in Austria-Hungary. From a chronological perspective, various design directions are interesting, often avant-garde, but also some less fortunate ones, which were often limited by the possibilities of workshop processing. The theoretical idea of the designer was timeless, but the appropriate technology had not yet been produced. Detailed technical descriptions of another twenty-five structurally interesting motorcycles of often no longer existing production brands will certainly interest readers of all age groups.
