Workshop Manuals
Only generally published after 1940 when they were introduced for use by army workshops. Following the war all the major manufactures began publishing them for use by dealerships etc.

Illustrated Parts Books
Very useful indeed when searching for missing or replacement parts. Often well illustrated using “exploded” drawings these can be of great help by showing the correct order of assembly.

Annual Sales Catalogues
Almost every manufacturer issued an annual sales catalogue or brochure of some type. These publications usually illustrate every model in the range for the coming year and provide  useful specifications of the major components.
