A means of gauging speed and distance became more of a necessity in the early 1910's as people ventured farther from home. speed was not as important as distance, and the odometer was the first standard instrument. The sреedometer followed shortly. The dashboard still hadn't come into being, so the combined speed-аnd-distance gauge was usually mounted on a post bеside the steering wheel. The next important instrument, usually mounted on the floorboard, was an air pressure gauge, which actually measured the fuel pressure. In early cars, air had to be pumped into the fuel tank to force gas through the fuel line. A pump was either mounted on the floor by the front seat or just outside the door on the side of the car. As the driver pumped up the tank, the gauge indicated pressure; about two-and-one-half pounds was enough to get the car started. Needless to say, the mechanical fuel pump was a welcome invention.

вот перевод: 
Средство измерения скорости и расстояния стало большим количеством потребности в начале 1910-ых, поскольку люди рисковали дальше от дома. скорость не была так же важна как расстояние, и одометр был первым стандартным инструментом. sрeedometer следовал вскоре. Приборная панель все еще не возникла, таким образом, объединенный speed-аnd-distance обычно устанавливался на почте около руля. Следующий важный инструмент, обычно установленный на половице, был шаблоном давления воздуха, который фактически измерил топливное давление. В ранних автомобилях воздух должен был быть накачан в топливный бак, чтобы вызвать газ через топливную линию. Насос был или установлен на полу передним сиденьем или недалеко от двери на стороне автомобиля. Поскольку водитель накачал резервуар, мера указала на давление; приблизительно двух и одной половины фунтов было достаточно, чтобы начать автомобиль. Само собой разумеется, механический бензонасос был желанным изобретением.
