Looks like the 1948-51 shop manuals are at Mountainview's public library. 1952 supplement is at Riverside's public library. Probably available via ILL.
At one time there were "library editions" with heavier bindings to stand up to extra wear and tear.
Don't get me started on the "institutional" rate most scholarly scientific journals charge that is several times the individual subscription rate.
