Nesselsdorf A

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Nesselsdorf A - Vierer (according to other sources Nesselsdorfer A - Vierer ) was the successor to the Nesselsdorf President , which the Nesselsdorfer Wagenbau-Fabriks-Gesellschaft brought out in 1900.

Like its predecessor, the vehicle had a two - cylinder boxer engine based on the Benz & Cie. with surface carburetor installed horizontally in the rear. This had a displacement of 2750 cm³ and developed 6 HP (4.4 kW). The ignition of the fuel-air mixture bewerkstelligte a new low-voltage version of the Bosch - magnetic-break ignition . The engine was alternately controlled , i.e. H. the side-mounted exhaust valves were driven by a camshaft, while the intake valves were designed as automatic sniffer valves . The maximum speed of the 900 kg car was 40 km / h.

In the same year, the Nesselsdorf A - Vierer II appeared with better equipment (e.g. fine leather seats and - on request - lighting with carbide lamps ). The engine now developed 8 to 9 hp (5.9 to 6.6 kW).

The Nesselsdorf A (model 1901) , which appeared at the end of the year, no longer had the engine installed at the rear, but under the vehicle floor. In addition to the 9 PS version, there was now also the version with 12 PS (8.8 kW), which gave the car a top speed of 65 km / h. 17 vehicles of this variant were produced.

In 1901 the manufacturer brought the Nesselsdorf Neuer Vierer onto the market. The new 12 HP engine with a displacement of 3188 cm³ was equipped for the first time with positively actuated inlet valves. Only the oil tank and water cooler were under the bonnet, while the engine was still under the car floor. The rear and front wheels of the car, which can go up to 40 km / h, were the same size.

In the same year, a technically appropriate, two-seater variant on a shortened chassis came out, the Nesselsdorf Zweier . Some superstructures still had emergency seats for other passengers in addition to the two main seats. The top speed of the car was 45 km / h. One example without a body took part in the Paris – Berlin race in 1902 .

1902 This type was the type B replaced.
