Service Handbook of the British Comet I Tank

This is a reprint of the very rare Service Handbook for the Comet I tank. It covers absolutely every aspect of the tank from tracks to turret top, and includes engine, transmission, steering, electrical equipment, hull, turret and guns. The gun fitted was a reduced performance 17 pounder, the first time a "real" antitank gun had been fitted to a British tank. This design led to the later Centurion. In all this manual covers everything you might want to know about the tank, and is profusely illustrated. All foldouts are reprinted to a similar size, and occur in the same places as in the original. As far as we are aware no other reprint of this manual is available.
