Default US TM 5-261 K sought

Dear all,

I am happy to PAY money for a good quality scan or photocopy of this but would obviously like an original in the end.

Any leads gratefully received, I am not very good at hunting on the internet for these things and it is likely out there, I hope.

Thanks in advance

Hello, Robin !

You can try here:

http://www.militarymodelling.com/for...p?th=63881&p=4

The registration is needed though.
See the message from Chris Weiss member there, in lower part of page 4. This his message is from December 16, 2013, but, I feel sure, it is quite short time period gone from that date.
And, probably, some other participants of that discussion are able to help, even today.

Dear Eduard,

I have been in contact with Chris, he has sent me some images from the manual he has but they were by text mage so I am trying to improve that.

He is the only other lunatic on this side of the the Atlantic who has any interest in this stuff.

There is a gentleman from the UK "Old Git" who is into Bailey bridge training kits.

It is a fairly small group of 3 in an esoteric sub group of our hobby.

Regards

Robin

Everyone has their own niche in our hobby...
Lucky for me I think that I just missed out on the Bailey bridge that was for sale locally... The missus is pretty flexible but not sure what she would have thought of a 6 section Bailey in our yard with no river or ditch for miles.
Still on my list though. There is another locally that one day will be replaced with a modern bridge.

Was that the one on the east side of the trans Canada at a construction yard painted white?

We saw it this summer but similar domestic opinions reigned here.

What were they asking for it?

Believe thats the one Robin.
I was speaking with the missus about this this evening and she asked why it is not in out yard already. Sheesh, just when I thought I knew her.
From what I understand, it sold for next to nothing. Shipping the components was more than the bridge itself.
I would have been happy with only a couple sections of it.

So, in this case, possibly, is the reason to ask the Library of the University of Illinois ? They have, for example, the following book (note their print on front cover):

Online: 200 pages long so be prepared to add paper and an inkjet to your printer.

I am lost, I am after 261 not 265, one is for the bridge itself the other is for the model.
