Drag Ropes: How are they used??

[rob love]

I don't know if it applied then, but for the last 50 years here in Canada, the artillery generally does not stow things like the handspike, the cleaning rods, or the aiming posts on the trails of the C1 (Cdn made M2A2 howitzer) or the current C3 as it results in the loss of those items during towing.

I've made a pair of ropes, they seem to fit in a similar way to the wartime pictures so I am reasonably happy with the length. Just need to add the leather straps and it's another job ticked off.

Of course, a box full of originals will surface next week......
