You would never know from widespread photos of balding, an elderly man that Gottlieb Daimler was young. I imagined a rare portrait of a young engineering student and a student with his carefully groomed wavy hair.
Engineers will tell you that Daimler's corrugated radiator on cars is designed to provide a large surface area for dissipating the heat of cooling water. Looking at this portrait of young Gottlieb, although with his ordered waves of hair in a fluted style, the true origin of this famous feature becomes apparent.
We can imagine Gottlieb Daimler around the middle of the nineteenth century. He was quite prepared for a gunsmith and studied a lot at the Swabian Polytechnic Institute. As soon as the lessons were over, with a cane in his hand and a bowler hat set at a bright angle, he would go out with his comrades to shoot some pool, drink a lot of beer and chat with the girls.
Then Daimler's friend Wilhelm Sharpe Willie appeared. Maybach. Even as a student, he was renamed his amazing feats of technology. For example, Maybach could build a house of cards with one hand, drinking beer with the other. He could also undermine his opponents. money in card games. They only suffered from friction. according to Sharp Willi.
Many were at times when salons in the city of Gottlieb reflected on the hoarse laughter of engineering students, as Daimler told jokes that could not be repeated in a polite company, for example, about the actress and bishop, and how they used the four-stroke cycle.
Practical prankster, Daimler was almost dismissed from his work at the English factory "Armstrong-Whitworth" for his demonstration of quick removable petticoats. on an unsuspecting tea lady. Later, of course, someone remembered the trick and developed detachable rims, which revolutionized the tire change.
Once, working at the stationary reactor installation of Deutz Gasmotoren-Fabrik, Daimler and Maybach connected the engine to a small car, and the stationary engine was stationary. Dodge accidentally hit the yard, but the joke had a higher goal.
Gottlieb dreamed of a traveling personal horseless carriage, with which he could travel to various neighboring cities and admire the girl in each of them. Like a sailor girl in every port. What is happening in another district is not taken into account, so he would have thought.
Wilhelm Sharp Willie Maybach graciously needed a fast escape machine to avoid the anger of abused players who realized that they were being tricked by their skillful engineers.
In Otto engines, built on Deutz, used a rough form of ignition. The rotary valve opened the port to the cylinder at the right time to open the fuel-air mixture for the flame. Gottlieb joked about this system with surprise, but ultimately the ineffectiveness of the outbreak.
Creating their own in Kannstat in 1882, Daimler and Maybach developed a more efficient form of ignition for their engines. A hollow platinum tube was lit by a torch outside the cylinder head and inserted into the cylinder. In this ignition with hot tubes, they were able to build engines that could rotate at a constant speed of 700–900 rpm.
Benny Hill engineers of the nineteenth century, Gottlieb Daimler was still sitting in blue double hooks even in later life. For example, when other early car manufacturers moved to electric spark plugs for ignition in the 1890s, he persisted in a simpler hot-tube system. It is assumed that this is due to the fact that now the older Daimler may continue to giggle about causing ignition. by inserting his hot tube.
Historical records that Emil Jellinek (who led Daimler's concession to the rich Cote-d'Azura), claimed that provided Maybach could redesign the Phonix 1900 model into a sleeker car with a more powerful engine, he could sell thirty of no problem. He also stated that they were to be sold under the Mercedes brand. It was not reported, because he was afraid of sales resistance from the German-sounding name Daimler.
Similarly, a little before his death, the Jellinek family met with Daimler at their home in Kannstat. After lunch, an elderly engineer invited a teenage Dzhellinek's daughter, Mercedes, to sit next to Uncle Gottlieb. and his finger.
The resulting brazen sound effect surprised no one, and Jellinek vowed that he could no longer sell Daimler cars if they were not renamed.
Looking back, it’s just as good that Gottlieb Daimler was long gone before 1931, or he would have made some really terrible jokes about the new Daimler gearbox with the “fluid clutch”; ...
These jokes about the antics of the young (and old) Gottlieb Daimler may or may not be history. Only the facts are true.
