Default hand wheels

Ron:

Very very nice restoration.

My ATG is a 1942 Australian built unit. Both hand wheels have the notches all the way around.

No reason to suspect that the unit was ever altered.

Very interesting machine, Rob. Do you know how many were built and how many survive today?

Default Buy the book

David,

You need a copy of Local Pattern Carriers by Mike Cecil, and all (well, most) of your 2-pdr Tank Attack carrier questions will be answered!

www.michaelkcecil.com

(yes, I know, shameless self promotion ...)

Mike

Default 2 Pdr Attack Carrier

Well as an owner of said book I have to say it has been most useful. Of the 200 or so built my one was the second one off the production line, so therefore hull no.6001

Hello Rob,

Not sure if you have seen this photograph? Accessed 10th of June from, https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/l...ank-gun/574438 It is a shame that they only posted up a single photo. It would have been great to see a full walk-around!

PS: I did find a walk-around online ... https://www.net-maquettes.com/pictur...nk-gun-carrier. Scroll down on the webpage and it leads to a video. I found the direct link to the walk-around https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9zrUog51G8

PSS - Found another video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xk5XDSx7h0s it looks like the same carrier that was sold at Sothebys and it being driven around its new home at the time.

Kind regards
Lionel
