Tan softcovers, black lettering & ruling on front cover (uniform interior toning, minor shelfwear), still VG copy. First edition of this exceedingly scarce technical work on the mechanics and repair of White Buses and chassis used for White Trucks. The White Motor Company also owned the truck manufacturing names of Sterling, Autocar, Diamond T, and REO which continued up through the 1970s. Their buses became especially well known in the 1930s when their Model 706 buses carried passengers throughout the major National Parks such as Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Glacier in the west, and were called Red Jammers. Gettysburg National Battlefield still operates two of the White buses.
