5 vols., 8vo., Fifth Edition, with many hundreds of photographs, illustrations and diagrams (many folding) throughout; blue cloth, gilt backs, a remarkably bright, clean, near fine set.
The set comprises Vol. I: Standard Components and Repair Methods; Vol. II: Engine, Clutch and Gearbox; Vol. III: Body, Chassis and Frame Repairs; Vol. IV: Electrical and Accessory Equipment' Vol. V: Data Sheets -40 separate folding tables). 'Before 1930 it was comparatively rare to find a garage in which the mechanics had a really expert knowledge of their work' (Preface by Edward Malloy). The most comprehensive manual of its time (it was still in common usage in the mid-1960s). For obvious reasons it is rarely found in really good state - the folding data sheets are particularly elusive. This is a remarkable set. COMPLETE SETS IN THIS CONDITION ARE SCARCE.
