Ford Motor Company of India "Army Service Training Course 1944"
1 Attachment(s)
Sold on Ebay earlier today: Ford Motors Jeep & military vehicle manual, India 1944 Item number: 260087805161 . Sadly I was too late to put in a bid :(
Anyway, I was wondering is the winner "reecetrooper" is known to the forum members. If so, I would like to get in touch with him and ask for a (digital) copy. Just because I'm interested in the contents of this manual. I'm mostly interested to learn if there is any reference to any of the "Indian Pattern" CMPs. Thanks! Hanno Quote:

Lauren Child was kind enough to tip me about a copy of this Army Service Training Course for sale on ebay - will share details when I get it.

Some pictures of the manual, with thanks again to Lauren for the heads-up!
It is training course material describing how to maintain the various Ford vehicles supplied to India. I have not gone over in in great detail but I suspect much is the same as in the maintenance manuals. Each section ends with a set of questions and answers, maybe to be used in some sort of exam. A stamp on the inside of the front cover states that "This manual is supplied to personnel of His Majesty's Forces only after completion of a Ford Army Service Training Course".

An interesting page is this index page with "distinguishing features", listing, among other vehicles, the elusive C291QH, described as a "stripped C0011QF chassis 4x4" with 101-1/4" wheelbase
The C19QHF is listed too as "stripped C01QF chassis 4x4" with 134-1/4" wheelbase. Interestingly, the C01QF-C29Q chassis is listed as both a 30-cwt and 3-ton 123-1/4" chassis with the only difference being 10.50-16 versus 10.50-20 tyres. There are no references to any of the Indian Pattern bodies, sadly. Attachment 84517 |
That FAT drawing is odd......a Monkey face body with a 13-ish front clip added!
