First edition MM handbook, anyone?

[RobThomas]

I have several later MM handbook but was hoping someone could show me a certain page on a first edition copy.

Anyone got one???

Thanks

Of course! What would you like to see?[frame][/frame]

Should have guessed!

I was wondering if the first edition had a different set of instructions for folding the hood? Looking at a load of early photos it may be that the hood wasn't originally screwed to the rearmost metal hood rail. I didn't screw mine down and it is very easy and tidy to fold it but the later cars seem soooo much more difficult.
I've got editions 6 and 7.

You need to try edition 2,3,4 or 5 then as it doesn't even mention it in the first edition.
Mine has a print date of December 1948 if that helps?

No mention of the hood in second & third editions. Seventh edition mentions the hood.

Edition 4 no mention, yes in Edition 7 and it isn't shown with screws in first hood frame from rear

Thanks for the input, everyone. Much appreciated.

Having no screws in the rear metal rail makes it very easy to fold in a tidy manner and there is a huge amount of spare space within the hood cover bag. The clear panel is also not folded over so that will last longer. I just wondered why on earth there are screws in those rails on some cars?
