Are you sure that’s a scan from a manual and not from either some kind of report, or an early(ish?) enthusiast’s publication?

Hi Jakko, yes, the page comes from Data Book Tank type vehicles of Canadian manufacture, a wartime data book or reference manual.

Ah, OK, I see — it just has that look about it of being written by some 1960s AFV enthousiast

Anthony Sewards shared actual Skink in action reports and recommendations from Capt. H Valle , No. 1 Tank Demonstration Unit CAC from use in NWE.
