Military College of Science - Publications

[Tim Bell]

Probably creating a rod for my own back here...

I have a collection of Pamphlets which are bound together in a folder called...

"Military College of Science Publication"

"Notes on Field Artillery Equipment"

Comprising...

Pamphlets...

1) General Principles
2) Care and Inspection of Carriages
3) Carriages 6-pdrs. Mks 1 and 3
4) Carriages 4.5/5.5-in. Mks 1 and 2
5) Carriages 25-pdr. Mks 1 to 3. 25-Pdr on Ram Chassis. Trailer Artillery No 27. Mk 1.
6) Carriage 17-pdr. Mk. 1 W.
7) Carriage 7.2 Howitzer Mk 1
8) Carriage 155mm M1 and Carriage 155mm/8in How M1
9) Carriage 75mm M8

Contents for each Pamphlet (various dates from 1943 to 1945) loosely along these lines:

a) Data
b) Main Features
c) Assembly and Disassembly
d) Care and Maintenance
e) Stores
f) Lubrication

I've just unbound the set to copy pamphlet (3) for a couple of people here...

While I have this set unbound... is anyone interested in any other copies (praying I do not get requests for all - but if I do, it will just take a bit longer).

When I rebind this lot, I wont be pulling it apart again anytime soon.

I will send out on a memory stick, so there will be a small charge for this and P&P.

Tim, thinking that No. 6 should read 17pdr, could I have a copy of that one too please.

Thanks Tim!

Hi Tim,

Possible to get a copy of #5, the 25 pdr?

tnx,
Bruce

[Peter Mossong]

My thanks for the 17pdr as well Tim.
I'd be a starter for the 25pdr notes as well.

Thanks, Pete M.

[Tim Bell]

Will assume the 25pdr is the only additional one anyone is interested in and see about scanning it next week sometime.

G'day Tim,

I am interested in the 25pdr. info. Please let me know if that is possible.

Regards Rick.

Tim,

Is it too late for me to request a 25 pdr one as well?

Much appreciated!

[Tim Bell]

I will post the 25pdr doc here once copied.

Tim

[lynx42]

Thank you Tim, we will wait with baited breath.

Tim, awesome, thank you very much. Maybe see you at W&P.

[Peter Mossong]

Thanks for those Tim. Much appreciated.

Cheers, Pete M.

[Tim Bell]

If anyone wants a higher definition scan of any of these, please send me a PM and we can sort out emailing them... or posting a memory stick at whatever costs are appropriate.

Cheers

Tim

Not sure at present... we are supposed to be there with 4 x 75mm Pack Howitzers for "the Noon Day Gun"... 2 of them are mine... but... have had nothing back from the organisers in regard to arrangements for this... last Friday was the deadline... so am not too hopeful.

Though I suppose I could still go for the social... will let you know if I do.

If the decision is made to sell the 25pdr limber rather than restore it... let me know... I know someone with a Morris quad looking for a restoration project.

Cheers

Tim
