Data and illustrations herein are from thermost reliable sources
available at date of publication. Production variations and changes
account for some discrepancies. It is suggested that such differences or
additional pertinent information be brought to the attention of Military
Publications Section, Executive Branch, Tank-Automotive Center,
Detroit, Michigan, at the earliest possible moment, for use in prepara-
tion of future editions.
Information on responsibility of maintenance, storage and issue is
given in section XVIII. This section also contains an index, and shows
classification according to general purpose, special equipment or special
purpose.
More detailed information will be found in the Technical Manuals
listed for each vehicle.
EXPLANATION OF TERMINOLOGY USED
The term "maximum gradability" indicates the steepest slope the
vehicle can negotiate in low gear.
Ordnance practice of determining slope in terms of percent is the
same as is customary in other technical fields such as surveying and
construction of roads and railroad grades.
Percent of slope is defined as the ratio between the vertical rise and
the horizontal distance travelled.
Some confusion arises from the practice of measuring angles in
degrees. Examples of slopes measured in terms of degree of angle and
percent of slope follow:
Degree of angle Percent of slope
0 0%
10 17.633%
30 57.735%
45 100%

CLASSIFICATION
The vehicles in this manual are classified in the following manner, in
accordance with Army Regulations 850-25, paragraph 13:
a. Standard Vehicles are the most advanced and satisfactory that
have been adopted by the Secretary of War and are those which are
preferred for procurement to meet supply demands.
b. Substitute Standard Vehicles are those which do not have as
satisfactory military characteristics as standard vehicles but are usable
substitutes for standard vehicles. They are not normally in use or avail-
able for issue to meet supply demands but would, when necessary, be
procured to supplement the supply of standard vehicles.
c. Limited Standard Vehicles are those which do not have as
satisfactory military characteristics as standard vehicles, but are usable
substitutes for standard vehicles, and are either in use or available for
issue to meet supply demands. Complete major units will not be repro-
duced but component parts and complementary articles, even though
they may be limited standard articles, may be procured if necessary to
maintain the complete major units in serviceable condition.
The wheeled vehicles in the manual are further classified in the follow-
ing manner, in accordance with Army Regulations 850-15, paragraph 3:
a. General Purpose Vehicles are all wheeled vehicles intended for
movement of personnel, supplies, ammunition, or equipment or towing of
guns, trailers, or semitrailers, and which are used by more than one
service.
b. Special Equipment Vehicles are wheeled vehicles, the chassis of
which are basically identical to those used in general purpose vehicles,
but which have a special body or special equipment mounted thereon.
c. Special Purpose Vehicles are wheeled vehicles, the chassis and
body of which are designed for a special purpose. These vehicles do not
incorporate body or chassis of either general purpose vehicles or special
equipment vehicles.
