добрый день Slava!
Спасибо мой друг!! I thought I was on the right track but as you noted one of the words was wrong which made a big difference. I will be seeing my friend who does the artwork tonight and we will make up the English version of the plate. I will post the results so you can check our work.
The plate clearly refers to the recoil system of the gun and is a guide to the Gunners on adjusting the fluids and the gas pressure so the recoil will work in all weather. Extremes of hot and cold as enjoyed in Russia and Canada can make a big difference in the efficiency of the recoil. When it gets too cold the system will become 'looser' and it will slam back and forth with poor buffering so the Gunners must add more pressure. As the system gets warm the pressures rise so the Gunners need to release some pressure or the recoil becomes too stiff!
There are places that can etch the data plates as on older vehicles. they use the same artwork but use a different ink that is resistant to the acid so the printed areas do not etch. You should be able to find someplace in Russia that can do this... try photographers with older darkrooms. If not, there is a chap in Poland who does good work and he might be able to make the plates you need. He posts on the G503 and the CCKW forums. I can look up his contact info if you wish.
Thanks again, Slava!
Ура! Mike
