Whats a DF and DL
My Ford instruction book First edition (grey cover) has a section entitled for D.F.s with a lot of cartoon drawings of things of do's and don'ts when driving CMPs. All the later special pattern books i have don't have this chapter, i have an idea what a DF is but could someone please clear this up and why was it dropped from later editions ?

The nice translation is "damn fool". Not sure if they used "Dumb FXXX" back in the day. We did use that in this day and age wrt some of the things drivers did, such as nailing a pice of cardboard to a radiator for a winter shroud.

A format similar to the one shown above for the Bedford appears in the Operation and Maintenance manual for the Otter Armoured Car.

Fox Manual
The Fox manual has the same section for 'dumb drivers' only they say it's for "S.B." 's which is either "Stupid Bastards" or "Son's [of] Bitches"

DL = dopey lump, dumb lout, dead loss, didn't learn .... plus a plethora of other possibilities.
