What makes it tick?

I was wondering whether anyone has seen this Canadian publication before. It has 310 pages and looks a lot like half a Ford MB-F1.

Somewhat common at the gunshows. Not being directly for any certain vehicle, I have passed up on many of them. I likely have a copy downstairs somewhere.

Rob is right..Had a copy..It is very generic and is a general reference for the 1940's era mechanic..that had little formal schooling but with lots of pictures and simple explanations..

I thought that may have been the case. I haven't seen one here before - and yes it explains things in baby steps doesn't it!

I had one of those as an Army cadet in 1957 at Camp Borden, Cadet Trades Training Camp, D&M.

It was a great reference manual since our hands on involved 15 cwt "strips", which were Chev/Ford CMPs stripped right down to chassis, seat, steering wheel.

IIRC, the paths of flow were shown in different colours of paint so that a student could follow the hydraulic, fuel, water etc lines from start to finish.

Thanks, Keith for a pleasant memory flashback!
