Looking for Deepwater Fording and Wadeproofing CMPs

Had a quick go at copying a manual.

Non=standard paper size so looks like I will have to pull the staples out and do each page individually - bear with me, a few things on at the moment.

Hi Lang

Thanks for the test shots, interesting information.

Understand that this is something you are doing in your spare time, and spare time for most of us is a scares commodity so as you can is well understood.

As the books are a non standard size and hard to scan, hate to see you have to take the books apart. How about just shooting pictures of the pages with digital camera instead. Try one page of text and see if that is easier and quicker.

Test photo of 8.5X11 inch GM Product Review Magazine 1942 shot hand held natural light down sized from 3MB to 991KB to upload to MLU.

PS. Just realized should have converted to Mono or Black and White image but you get the idea.

Thanks again for the effort
Cheers Phil

Hi
Yes now after looking at the photo enlarged I see that I was off by half not a V8 but a inline 4. Interesting to note the liberal use of sealing compound. Interesting that no effort was made to water proof the generator, I had been wondering how you could waterproof open case generators. But then again they are taking a lot of water through the body just driving down the road in a heavy rain. Wonder if they figured that the failure rate from water immersion would be the same or lower than the failure rate from excessive heat for operating the engine with waterproofing in place.

Also back to my post about the What is the lowest component that will stop the engine if goes under water. As I said on my C60S and C60L this component is the lowest that I am seeing that if it goes under water at 33 inchs above ground has the potential to destroy the engine fairly quickly. It is the air intake for the brake booster. My reasoning is that if you hit the brakes with the booster air intake under water the unit will take a full slug of water. When you release the brake the chamber is then vented to the vacuum side. Now the question is will 20-25 inchs of manifold vacuum suck that water directly into the intake manifold.

Cheers Phil

That manual for the Chev has an unbelievable amount of work for the generator. When I get it up on the site you will see they had to completely disassemble the generator and dip the internal components in varnish.

Will try photos

Looking for something else and found this https://youtu.be/l8FD9-JUl1U

Once again it seams I can not embed Youtube Videos, sometimes I can sometimes I can't.

I pulled a book apart. You can sort out the pages. For some reason the full page picture on some scans only came up inverted, you can rotate when/if you copy.

This is NOT the preparation for an amphibious landing, I will put that up next, it is the preparation for Long Immersion Driving eg driver training or some extreme operation. It does give a very good idea of how hard a normal vehicle is to fully waterproof. If they did this to all the vehicles at the time I think they would be ready for the Normandy invasion about Xmas this year.
