Default Marmon Harrington shipments

I am sure that this will be of interest to someone on this forum. The attached document was found in a file at Library & Archives Canada. I have no other information. If you cannot read it please PM me and I will e-mail a high res file to you.

Default I'm intrigued

90 units delivered to New Zealand. We have a 6x6 in the museum collection which used to carry a drilling rig, apparently delivered to NZ as such.

The previous owner (a long term bridge builder) has just offered us the drilling rig. It will be great to reunite the two components.

Does any one have photos of MH drilling rigs from the WW2 era?

The photo was taken a few years ago. The deck on it is loosely based on an old blurry B&W photo, best viewed with blurry specs!

The federal on the left is of indeterminate age: any ideas? is it military?

the front bumper looks like a military one and being a 1941 or thereabouts I think it was a military vehicle once
