It includes descriptions of the wheeled and tracked vehicles in use at date of publication. The information is presented in the form of data pages, with one page designated to each vehicle. In each case, the descriptive matter includes a photograph, an outline drawing, a summary of operational role, and a tabulation of technical details, The data given is the latest available at time of going to press. A number of technical information pages giving data on vehicle tires, tools, marking signs, lub- ricants, code plates, movement regulations, etc, are also included. The book will be useful to those engaged in the supply, maintenance and operational handling of military vehicles as it contains the information necessary for identification, classification and per- formance appraisement of those used by the Canadian Army. Published Under Direction Of LIEUT-GENERAL P. J. MONTAGUE (CHIEF OF STAFF By THE BRANCH OF THE QMG CANADIAN MILITARY HEADQUARTERS mARRANGEMENT OF DATA PAGES The plan adopted in the arrangement of the data pages of this publication has been to follow, in general, the consecutive order of increasing weight classes customary in operational listings. The total list is divided into sections as noted hereunder : First section. “A” vehicles. Second section......"B”” vehicles. General Arrangement | Third section Trailers. Fourth section.........Technical information pages. Between each section there has been interposed a page giving the general arrangement of the suc- ceeding section. Within each section the vehicles have been listed as noted hereunder : Section | (1) In order of increasing weight. Arrangement | (2) Alphabetically in each weight. Following (|) above, the “B” vehicles begin with motorcycles and run up to lO-tonners, except that tractors are grouped at the end. Following (2) above, where vehicles are of the same weight, they are listed in alphabetical order based on authorized nomenclature, (e.g., Lorry, 3-ton, Ambulance is followed by Lorry, 3-ton, Battery Storage).INDEX SBOREWORD "ARRANGEMENT OF PAGES INDEX.
