I've stumbled upon a few for the M3 Light tanks in my last couple years of research.

I've attached a clip from "Weapons Mounts for Secondary Armament", it covers secondary weapons mounts for various armored vehicles... listing sources of information such as Ordnance Drawings, Ordnance Commitee Minutes, Technical Manuals, etc.

It has helped me located various items at the National Archives.

I have Ordnance Drawing D50077 and a few others I can send if you think they will help.

For the Mount Refernces on the attached page:

OCM is Ordnance Committee Minutes
SNL A-55 Sec. 6 is going to be the Ordnance Supply Catalogue (Spare Parts Catalog)
RAPD is the Raritan Arsenal Publications Dept.

Hi

Thanks for your reply. Absolutely that would be helpful. I am searching for a mount (whether that comes to anything, we'll see), but I suspect that I may have to fabricate something!

I will send you a PM as well about this.

All the best

Tom
