Question Pictures for CMP books

David,

I have a set of about 200 black and white photos of GM-built CMP's taken at the Canadian General Motors Factory between February 1941 and June 1943 which may interest You.

I have them from Brian C. Asbury, Ontario. I traded them with him for some sets of Technical Manuals for M24 Chaffee a few years ago. Brian had his negatives reproduced from one of GM of Canada's own albums.

Out of 384 photos from the album (9 was missing) he re-photographed the 208 he found most interesting. But if GM of Canada have numbered their photos from 001 there is a total of 1016 or more original photos to have existed! Brian had 3 sets of his reproduction-photographs printed on 6" x 8" glossy paper - of which I have one.

Some of the same photos are printed in Dr. W. Gregg's books, as well as in Bart Vanderveen's.

If You don't have these photos already, and You are interested to borrow them from me I can send them to You by snail mail to reproduce/scan - but Brian should be asked before publishing.

And maybe a CD with these photos scanned is interesting to sell through the MLU Kit Shop?
