Just received this book I purchased a couple of weeks ago. The auction description did not really pinpoint it's specific use. Since it's arrival, I have discovered it is in fact a manual, textbook if you will, used for training of Australian driver/mechanics, in WWII. Originally from Melbourne, it covers a great range of systems, vehicle brands & types, as well as having lots of learning material in written and diagram form. Very handy for a novice like me, and I would wager some of the students using this would have been little more than mechanical novices too. My Father amongst them. It blows me away to think he may have sat and studied a book just like this one.
