I bought a bound folder of photocopied tank data from a junk shop in the early 1990s.

It contains extracts from documents as follows:

Manufacture of Sherman Badgers
Canal Defence Light Handbook
CDL Tank Stowage - Churchill
CDL Tank Stowage - M3
CDL Turret Interior Fittings - M3
Churchill 3in Gun Carrier Mark 1
Tanks Cruiser Ram 1 and Ram 2 Instruction Book, May 1942
Tank Cruiser Ram 2 Instruction Book, April 1943
Tracked Jeep, Not a Formal Report, Photographs and Drawings, July 1943

As to the purpose of this collection of documents... no idea... I was a student, it was cheap, I bought it and have had it sat on the bookshelf gathering dust ever since... I only thought to look in it when reviewing all of my own material to see if I had anything in my collection about the Sherman Firefly or 17pdr gun which I might have overlooked.

Sorry it's a bit late for your research, but glad it has proven interesting all the same.

With the info in the document, it may be possible to track down the source.
