CAM magazine: "In the interests of Mechanical Maintenance"

CAM was a kind of bible for Canadian military mechanics during the Second World War - but it's equally notable for its fine graphic art covers.

Several issues can be found online now at http://wartimecanada.ca/document/wor...al-maintenance

Canada, NDHQ, Directorate of Mechanical Engineering, CAM 2/6 (March - April 1945); 2/8 (June 1945); 2/9 (July - August 1945); 2/10 (September 1945)

HTH,
Hanno

Anyone got more CAM magazines?

Some of the artwork is true art, in my opinion!

I have a full set of CAM as well. I have an issue with vol 1 # 1, I am missing 2/3 of page 13/14. I have 1 duplicate Vol 1 # 6 march 1944. I also have the 1984 40th anniversary RCEME issue.

Here are some more issues, scanned in B&W unfortunately:

"RCEME Archivist" on the Internet Archive > 22 issues of CAM - believed to be an acronym for Canadian Army Maintenance:

Quote:

CAM - believed to be an acronym for Canadian Army Maintenance - was published monthly from 1943 to 1945 to promulgate tips on performing preventive maintenance on Canadian Army vehicles and equipment. It was published by the Directorate of Mechanical Maintenance in National Defence Headquarters in Ottawa, Canada. The responsibility for maintenance and repair of equipment in the Canadian Army was centralized in the Corps of Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers that was formed in 1944.
