Military automotive history and early automobile mechanics. Published in Chicago in 1919, this scarce course outline was written by Daniel Roesch, supervising instructor of the War Training Detachment for automobile mechanics and drivers at the Armour Institute of Technology. The program was developed for the U.S. War Department and covers chassis components, engine assembly and repair, ignition and electrical accessories, engine operation and troubleshooting, driving, and vehicle maintenance. An unusual surviving piece of early American military motor-transport education from the immediate post–World War I period, with strong appeal to collectors of antique automobiles, military training material, mechanical trades, and Chicago technical history. Original softcover pamphlet. Covers show age toning, surface soiling, creasing, edge wear, and corner wear. Interior pages exhibit light age toning and occasional spotting or handling wear. Binding remains intact and pages are readable. Please examine all photographs carefully for the exact condition of the copy offered. Published by Daniel Roesch, Chicago, 1919; approximately 40 pages. The exact copy pictured is the copy you will receive.
