    Why don't you try asking on the artillery forum? http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/forumdisplay.php?72-Artillery-amp-Anti-Tank-Weapons

    We also had them in the Army Apprentices College in 1989. Like Mark said, they were expected to be spotless at all times, especially so before a PT lesson (along with your highly starched red PT vest and blue shorts).

    Fantastic work as per usual! Can I just ask why don't you use any coolant? Is it to do with the material, or the rotation speed, or just because you need to see what you're doing?

    Going by the sturdy hinge and quadrant, it looks as if it was designed to be used in the open (90 degree) position. Some kind of Sergeant Major's measuring device for room/kit inspections? How many inches is it from tip to tip in the open position?

    Is there a particular reason for having twin wheels on the front axle?

    Looks like the Atlas 1404 LC, the Hymac's sucessor.

    As it's only for a few months a year, why not hire an industrial one from somewhere like these people? They even say suitable for "tank" drying

    You mention something about a pallet, so maybe you mean a DROPS, not a DAF? If it's a DROPS, then it could be something electrical, affecting the stop solenoid on the FIP. It's been a while, and the grey cells are starting to go, but I'm sure you stop a DROPS on the key, and the DAF was a pull stop?

    Sorry, I should have mentioned that that site is infamous for poor editing/translations! Here's the rest of the history from them if it helps. http://www.novinite.com/search_news.php?thequery=Maybach

    All vehicles with slave sockets are 24 volts. Putting one on a 12v vehicle is asking for trouble....

    Bury it in the garden for 6 months. Theres a thriving industry here producing "genuine" Nazi artifacts for tourists. Everything looks the part, but they are all produced in one of the villages, then buried for a few months for the correct patina:-)

    In the second from last picture, from left to right are: Terex 72 51 Medium Wheel Tractor, then a Haulamatic with the skip in the air, and behind the Crusader is a JCB 410 Rough Terrain Forklift

    Isn't it something to do the "GM" reference, GM - (G)jimmy? Like Willys "jeep" is meant to be derived from GP?

    Thanks :-)

    Maybe I'm being a bit thick now, but why are they called 4 tonners then, because they can carry 4 tons in the back?
