Default Need a bit of a steer in the right direction

The curator at the Hobart military museum and I seem to have hit it off OK, I work there as a volunteer.

Being ex Air Force does not help me focus on what is important.

He has agreed that he will copy onto DVD all his photos of carriers, including the ones that went to Korea.

The libarian has agreed to pull out all copies of the maintanence manuals, so that any that are rare we can download onto DVD.

Kieth perhaps if I send the info to you, you could save the photos onto your site, and you could tell me which m,nuals should be copied.

Whilst this may take up a little of your time, it could give us a little more of the jig saw.

Regrets to all, but as you are aware, my knowledge in regard to army matters is limited.

Regards and thanks

Col

Default Carrier Data

Hi Col

You may not be aware but I have been building a comprehensive Carrier database for a number of years with the intention of eventually launching it onto my own website. One of these days. In the meantime, I am harvesting Carrier info from far and wide. The latest sub-project is Strickland Carriers.

I would certainly be interested with anything you come up with.

The main Manuals for Carriers are the 1941 Series under the broad heading Carriers, Machine Gun, L.P., Nos. 2 & 2A. These were notified in A.A.O's dated 31st December 1941.

Description, Operation and Maintenance - Mechanization Pamphlet No.7

Workshop Repairs and Maintenance - Mechanization Pamphlet No.7A

Spare Parts Identification List - Mechanization Pamphlet No.7B

Then there are the revised 1943 Manuals under the broad heading Carrier M.G. (Aust). These were notified in G.O's dated 31st August 1943.

Instruction Book - Drivers

Workshop Manual for Carriers M.G., 2 Pdr and 3" Mortar

Parts Identification List

If you or the Curator needs any assistance or advice, feel free to contact.

Bob
