help identify wheels
:) Hi guys
I am hoping you might be able to help me identify these wheels. They are marked with the broad arrow C and are stamped Kelsey Canada 1942. They are 12.5 inches in diameter and 7 inches wide. They are a two piece wheel with a valve stem hole. Any thoughts? http://img.mypicgallery.com/milwheel...0009_large.jpg http://img.mypicgallery.com/milwheel...0002_large.jpg http://img.mypicgallery.com/milwheel...0012_large.jpg http://img.mypicgallery.com/milwheel...0005_large.jpg |
Wheels
How about 6 pdr a/tk gun.

I agree with Peter that they are probably 6 pounder wheels, judging by the "flaps" attached to the rims.

Thanks Guys
Id have never guessed. I sure wish I had the rest of the gun to go along with them. Alex do you know what the flaps were used for? :) |
Do you think the flaps are for an armoured cover attachment to cover over the wheel sides??? Cheers BIG MIKE
|
the flaps are for wrapping chains and ropes around so the gun can be manhandled into place by man power.
Cheers Cliff :) |
