Military College of Science - Publications

Probably creating a rod for my own back here...

I have a collection of Pamphlets which are bound together in a folder called...

"Military College of Science Publication"

"Notes on Field Artillery Equipment"

Comprising...

Pamphlets...

1) General Principles
2) Care and Inspection of Carriages
3) Carriages 6-pdrs. Mks 1 and 3
4) Carriages 4.5/5.5-in. Mks 1 and 2
5) Carriages 25-pdr. Mks 1 to 3. 25-Pdr on Ram Chassis. Trailer Artillery No 27. Mk 1.
6) Carriage 17-pdr. Mk. 1 W.
7) Carriage 7.2 Howitzer Mk 1
8) Carriage 155mm M1 and Carriage 155mm/8in How M1
9) Carriage 75mm M8

Contents for each Pamphlet (various dates from 1943 to 1945) loosely along these lines:

a) Data
b) Main Features
c) Assembly and Disassembly
d) Care and Maintenance
e) Stores
f) Lubrication

I've just unbound the set to copy pamphlet (3) for a couple of people here...

While I have this set unbound... is anyone interested in any other copies (praying I do not get requests for all - but if I do, it will just take a bit longer).

When I rebind this lot, I wont be pulling it apart again anytime soon.

I will send out on a memory stick, so there will be a small charge for this and P&P.

Tim, thinking that No. 6 should read 17pdr, could I have a copy of that one too please.

Correct - I will edit that!

No good deed goes unpunished.

17pdr - Pamphlet

Thanks Tim! :cheers:

Hi Tim,

Possible to get a copy of #5, the 25 pdr?

tnx,
Bruce

My thanks for the 17pdr as well Tim.
I'd be a starter for the 25pdr notes as well.

Thanks, Pete M.

Will assume the 25pdr is the only additional one anyone is interested in and see about scanning it next week sometime.

Tim

G'day Tim,

I am interested in the 25pdr. info. Please let me know if that is possible.

Regards Rick.

Tim,

Is it too late for me to request a 25 pdr one as well?

Much appreciated!

I will post the 25pdr doc here once copied.

Tim

Thank you Tim, we will wait with baited breath.

Tim, awesome, thank you very much. Maybe see you at W&P.

Thanks for those Tim. Much appreciated.

Cheers, Pete M.

If anyone wants a higher definition scan of any of these, please send me a PM and we can sort out emailing them... or posting a memory stick at whatever costs are appropriate.

Cheers

Tim

Not sure at present... we are supposed to be there with 4 x 75mm Pack Howitzers for "the Noon Day Gun"... 2 of them are mine... but... have had nothing back from the organisers in regard to arrangements for this... last Friday was the deadline... so am not too hopeful.

Though I suppose I could still go for the social... will let you know if I do.

If the decision is made to sell the 25pdr limber rather than restore it... let me know... I know someone with a Morris quad looking for a restoration project.

Cheers

Tim
