[Book Review] The Marvelous Mechanical Designs of Harry A. Miller

The Marvelous Mechanical Designs of Harry A. Miller

By Gordon Elliot White

Another in Iconografixโ€™s series of photo compendiums, โ€œThe Marvelous Mechanical Designs of Harry A. Millerโ€ explores a broad spectrum of Millerโ€™s innovative designs with the help of photographs from the late Mark Dees collection, blueprints from the late Bob Sutherland Collection and insightful text from Miller expert Gordon Elliot White.

Organized into chapters by project, the 126-page book covers racing cars, racing engines, racing boats, passenger cars, land speed record cars, experiments that failed, Miller-Fords and even the rare mid-engined โ€œGulfโ€ Millers and the Christie combat car. The reproduction quality of the black-and-white photos is excellent and, when combined with Elliotโ€™s captions and brief chapter introductions, provides interesting insight into a very important piece of American automotive and racing history.
