    According to my technical literature, the generator is made by Pioneer but the engine is made by B&S. The PE-77-A to C used the model IL, the D and E used the model N.
  2. Adrian Barrell
    PE-77-D is 115V DC.

    Mine used to run at 170 F if I drove it at my normal speed of around 40 mph. If the speed went up to 45 mph, the temp rose to 180 F. The fuel consumption rose in a similar fashion!

    I know very little really Jack, I just have a lot of books.....

    Hi Carl, glad to help! Just to clarify, it's not fitted to the gun itself but to the air reservoir used to charge the recuperator, it's like a small oxygen cylinder, 5 1/2" in diameter.

    CM3334 is a Plug, preserving, no 2 and caps the outlet of the compressed air reservoir used to fill the recuperators on artillerysuch as 17 pdr and 25 pdr.

    As is Windsor Carrier track

    The turret is a 105mm turret as it has the rear ventilator visible.

    C60 would have had 10.50-20 originally which morphed into 11.00-20.

    Cheers Paul!

    Only three actually, just edited to look like more.

    Sub calibre normally refers to a smaller calibre gun fitted inside the chamber and bore of the larger piece, such as the link Tim posted which puts a 6 pdr barrel inside a 9.2 Howitzer.

    BBMF change squadron codes regularly. Transport command rarely showed squadron codes.
  15. Adrian Barrell
    The large letters are squadron codes and individual letter. The serial number is the smaller alpha numeric set and is particular to each airframe.

    Thanks Robin, I'll keep you informed!

    I have a box in Ontario. The plan is to ship it west to go in a container at some point in the future. It may already have left but if not, I can ask for it to get to Toronto instead.

    It is from Sherman.

    They are for the T headed clamp bolts that hold the bad weather hood above the hatch. Drivers side only as there was only one hood supplied but possibly added to the other side at some point.

    True! Though on a similar note, I have recently been lucky to get the barrel record book for my 17 pdr. It fired it's first proof round on 23rd March 1945 and it's last round on 14th February 2011. That's 66 years in service! It is for the barrel I have fitted, not the one that came with the carriage but impressive none the less.

    Just realised that is more than half my life....Had my high speed tractor even longer!

    Hi Bob, well, I do have an idea what it has cost me, both financially and in time, though it would be hard to tell the true cost in terms of how my single minded focus for a few years impacted my private life! However, I'm happy so no regrets! I would say it has proved to be a very good investment but bear in mind I have owned her for 28 years and if you had told me back then what it might be worth now, I wouldn't have believed you....
  23. Adrian Barrell
    It is, as I thought.
  24. Adrian Barrell
    Hi Carl, no, I don't but it is one I have been looking for. ISTR it is just a longer version of the C264 for the APCBC round. It's likely to be what is in your first picture as that was the standard AP shot by that time.
  25. Adrian Barrell
    The ones with the handwheels are British. Australian and Canadian examples use the wire handles. The AS&S box is Australian. The C264A is longer for the HE round.
