What book is this?

[Jeep_Noob]

I recently purchased an online course (really just a set of videos) that is meant to help people learn about the workings of automobiles. It came with a "textbook" that is clearly a partial scan of a book. The thing is, I really like the book and would like a physical copy, but can't find the name of the book anywhere on the scanned pages and the owner of this "course" doesn't respond to his emails. I've also tried image searches with Google, but just end up getting results for the same website. I've attached a page from the book. Do any of you know the name of this book?

Looks like it came from this

I don't know the book itself, but I can tell by what I see it’s an old book, likely an old high school or Vo-Tech book.

App beat me and found it. That slide is on page 16. Time to get your money back.

I assume this is the course?

Everybody needs to brush up on their life skills from time to time, especially if they pertain to removing dynamo pulleys. If you're not a good mechanic, like me — who can't help but get stomped in the head every time he crawls under his car — then here's a field guide for the rest of us: the succinctly named How A Car Works details exactly how a car works. Over 236 articles are lovingly rendered in scans from a British promotional book "that went out of print 15 years ago," as promoting what the mysterious author mysteriously claims as "a large brand in the UK." Perhaps Ford — many of the Haynes-manual-via-1983 illustrations star the first-generation Ford Fiesta. (There's also a Renault 5, and what might even be a MkIV Cortina.) The information is stunningly comprehensive for something that was allegedly given away at gas stations.

Yup, that's the course and the exact same pdf that is on slideshare. After the table of contents, the book starts on page 17, so they definitely got it from some textbook.

Good find, detective!

"...many of the Haynes-manual-via-1983 illustrations star the first-generation Ford Fiesta..."

I was going to guess closer to the early '70s.
