Default Multiple rocket launcher

Was wondering if anyone out there has any info on the "Land Matress" or multiple rocket launcher as used by the 1st Canadian Rocket Battery?
Any pictures, info or links appreciated.
Did any of these launchers survive?

Default Land Mattress.

Chris the Canadian War Museum has a Fact Sheet No. 4 dealing with the Canadian Land Mattress. Don Dingwall was involved in the original research he may be able to help you. If not PM me with your snail mail and I will send you a copy of mine.

Cheers
