 FEATURES OF THIS PUBLICATION

 The following paragraphs explain various important details with which the user should be familiar for proper understanding of the catalog and practices peculiar to this book:

 STANDARDIZED GOVERNMENT GROUPING

 The parts listed in this catalog are divided into major and minor groups in accordance with the Standardized Government Grouping. This division into groups facilitates the location and identification of each part. The Standardized Government Grouping as adapted to this catalog is outlined on pages 8 & 9.

 ILLUSTRATIONS

 Exploded views are used throughout the book to aid in locating and identifying parts. Illustrations are placed as closely as possible to the groups to which they apply.

 The legend immediately following the illustrations, or on the opposite page, gives the key letter, item and manufacturer's part number together with the sub-group in which the required information for requisitioning an item is listed. Whenever a part is illustrated, this is indicated by the Figure No shown in Column 1.

 In the rear of the book there is a Figure Index giving the plate numbers, the titles and the page on which each illustration is located.

  COMPONENTS OF KITS, SETS AND ASSEMBLIES

 Whenever any doubt may exist as to what items are included as components of kits, sets or assemblies, an explanatory note or a complete listing of such components is shown. In the case of items which are both separately listed and are components of kits or sets, suitable cross reference notations will be found throughout the text.

 INDEXES

 Particular attention is directed to the fact that all indexes are placed at the back of the book and that all items are not included in all indexes. Excluded items are covered by explanatory notes at the beginning of the index. The various indexes are listed on the flyleaf of the index portion of this catalog.

 IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS ON HARLEY DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLES

 Until recently there were no serial numbers used on Harley-Davidson Motorcycles. On later 1942 models there is a serial number on each motorcycle. This serial number appears on the caution plate, just to the rear end of the switch panel.

 In most cases, in this book, part changes are indicated by U.S.A. Registration Numbers. These have appeared on the rear number plates of 1940, 1941 and some 1942 models. On other 1942 models these U.S.A. Registration numbers are stenciled on the lower portion of the rear mudguard.

 Motor numbers appear on the left crankcase just below the cylinders. These numbers are stamped thus 42WLA47286. The first figure and series of letters designate the year and model of the vehicle, in illustration given, this is 42WLA. These motor numbers are not used to indicate parts changes because of frequent switching of motor assemblies in repair operations.

The pictures are very usable and not washed out or too dark like many of the manuals I have seen that from copy machines.  It is printed on 24 pound paper.  Copy paper is generally 20 pound and you can feel the difference.  It is bound with GBC plastic combs so that it will lay flat.  If you would like I can, rather than bind with the plastic comb, three hole punch it for your binder.

         If you are collecting military manuals or looking for a prop to display at your next show, this is not the manual you want.  If you want some usable information on the Army’s 45” Harley Davidson Motorcycle, that will lay flat on your bench when you are working on your pride and joy or some period information on how it was done back Sixty Five years ago while you curl up in front of the fire this winter, this is the one you need.
