I have come across a little vehicle maintenance manual in my mother and father's files from the time they were in the services (1942 -45) and which may be of interest to TMers particularly those with pre ECU / fuel injected models.
I attach the table of required tasks and inspections which had to be undertaken in order to ensure that vehicles didn't break down in service. Looks basic but I certainly don't apply this rigorous sort of discipline now to my driving habits. There was as much onus on the drivers as there was on the NCO and CO inspectors to get this right.
The document it came from was titled 'Inspection, Maintenance and Care of Army Vehicles (Wheeled) Based on the "Task System" (4th August 1942)
