A while back I came across a little footage of these .50 cal. mounts being tested on the ACCO prototype, appear to work very well. 7.22 mins, to 8.14.

Your link takes me to a message. " Your video does not exist"

[Mike Cecil]

Yep, I get 'Video unavailable' ..... and I'd really like to see it, please Rich!

I think these might have been one of those "Seems like a good idea at the time" efforts.

I was in the system for the great majority of the Inter's service period and never saw or heard of this kit.

I wonder how long the roof would have remained without stress cracks. I certainly would not have liked to be standing up there like the proverbial awaiting return serve from the people you are shooting at.

Would be a great novelty at a show to see a vehicle set up with all the gear.

Here appears to be the full Inter story (40 minutes, maybe the roof mount is in it - haven't watched it through yet)

PS Just watched it and this has the mount operation on it. Love the fake pommy accent which was compulsory for narrators until the mid-60's and the "Family Going to the Beach Holiday" music which also seemed compulsory for Australian docos of the period.

Much like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLj1czHA1DY

I could quite easily envisage the closing scene with a "Have you driven a Ford lately? See your Ford Dealer today! Affordable terms available to primary producers and fleet operators!"
