Description: Up for your consideration is this Original Audel’s 1943 Edition of the New Automobile Guide for Mechanics, Operators, and Servicemen, 4th Edition (copyright 1942, reprinted 1943) by Frank D. Graham. This 1588 page manual is an original Leather bound publication and is in Excellent shape, pages Near MINT. For those of you who don’t know the author, Frank D. Graham, a prolific and eloquent writer of the ever popular and frequently reprinted Audel's guides of various titles. Graham seemed to specialize, however, in subjects related to steam technology and other types of engines. Graham was a graduate of Princeton University, with a BS and MS in Mechanical Engineering and was a licensed marine and stationary engineer with the Stevens Institute of Technology, New Jersey. As you can see from the pictures, this tome covers all aspects of the Classic Auto from about 1930 to 1942. The kinds of info included in this encyclopedia are the normal ones associated with an auto repair manual, like: Cooling Systems, Gauges, Distributors, Ignition, etc. BUT…….it also has some unique subject matter not normally found in other books, like: Diesel Engines (not in the popular cars of its day, but a history on Rudolph Diesels invention., or Super Chargers (bet you thought they came much later, huh?) This manual is chalk full of Illustrations, Pictures, Questions, and Answers that will provide the auto mechanic with all sorts of positive results, when it comes to repair and maintenance of the Classic Autos of the 1930's to 1942! With over 59 Chapters, this book will no doubt leave you breathless as to the amount of information contained within. The index alone is unprecedented for the time in publishing. Why….No books of that era had an index whereas any one automotive term, tool, or part is named in the index with its corresponding page. Anything correlating to the auto repair world is in this great index. But that’s just the start…….. At the start of every chapter, there is a couple of pages of Questions and Answers pertaining to that particular subject, like say…Ignition. Then the author goes into greater details to help you fully understand the theory and workings of that subject. Each subject has pictures or illustrations to bolster what you are reading. This manual would most likely cover these makes of that era: American Bantam, Auburn, Austin, Buick, Cadillac, Chevy, Chrysler, Cord, Desoto, Dodge, Ford, Franklin, Graham, Hudson, Hupmobile, LaFayette, LaSalle, Lincoln (inc Zephyr), Mercury, Nash, Olds, Overland, Packard, Pierce Arrow, Plymouth, Pontiac, Reo, Studebaker, Terraplane, and Willys cars It is truly like no manual you have ever read!
