You are bidding on an WWII War era Overhaul Manual, Part No 46966 for the TWIN WASP C SERIES ENGINES by Pratt and Whitney Aircraft.  This manual is about 380 pages comprised of many detailed folded/pull-out diagrams and detailed lithographs showing and illustrating the different parts of the engine and how to service and dismantle or build the engines.  It says that it was revised in July, 1942.   

The Table of contents list the various chapters as:  I.  Disassembly of Engine into Sub-Assemblies; II.  Disassembly of Sub-Assemblies; III.  Cleaning;  IV.  INSPECTION;  V.  Repair and Assembly of Sub-Assemblies;  VI.  Assembly of Engines;  VII.  Run-in of Engines After Overhaul; VIII.  Preparation of Engine After Run-In;  IX.  Carburetors; X.  Magnetos;  XI.  Ignition Wire Manifold and Radio Shielding; XII.  Fuel Pumps; XIII.  Spark Plugs;  XIV.  Automatic Oil Temperature Control;  XV.  Gun Synchronizer;  APPENDIX which includes Tightening Torque Recommendations, Table of Clearances and Charts for Tables of Clearances and Lubrication Diagrams.

As you can see and as you probably know, these manuals are very complete with all of those detailed diagrams that I mentioned above.  This manual is housed in a heavy duty folder that is in good shape as you may be able to see from the first two pictures.  The condition of the inside pages are excellent with the exception of the first page which shows bug damage and slight foxing.  The first couple of pages have slight damage but only to the very outer margin.  Most of the rest of the pages appear to be in great shape with maybe one or two showing some smudging, etc.  Overall it is in great shape for its age. Please note that shipping will be media mail that includes insurance.

The winner must pay for the item within 7 days after the auction ends or it will be resold.  Please ask questions in advance of bidding because I do not take returns on vintage books and paper items.  Thanks for your interest in this great Pratt-Whitney Overhaul Manual.  Good luck bidding.

We complain a lot about electronic nannies here at Autoweek. They seem to step in to protect us just when things are getting interesting. Instead, we'd like to increase the skill quotient of drivers on the road.

This is the new Jaguar XF Sportbrake, the long-awaited estate version of Jaguar’s XF. The new Jaguar XF Sportbrake will be unveiled at the 2012 Geneva motor show in March 2012.  The backside of this new Jaguar XF Sportbrake is the most important part – what can you tell me? From the B-pillar backwards the XF Sportbrake is new, and it culminates in XJ-style blacked-out rear pillars, as predicted by CAR.
