This 1965 Handbook constitutes the first of a planned Automotive Series of handbooks concerned with the design of military automotive vehicles. The design of satisfactory military vehicles does not happen as a by-product of normal progress in the civilian automotive industry. The military requirements must receive special consideration during design and development. This Handbook is a compilation of principles and data to supplement experience and education and assist engineers and designers in the development of military automotive equipment. This Handbook introduces the topics to be covered specifically by the succeeding handbooks and discusses these topics in their relationship to the automotive assembly as a whole. The scope of this Handbook does not include design details of system elements. This work is a compilation of various data and design information gathered from numerous reports, publications and personal interviews, and its scope is necessarily limited to condensation and summary.
