Kurtis Tsang Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Hi, Does anyone can post the close up photos for the 25 pdr ammunition tray ? I want to see the walkaround detail inside and outside detail. (with dimension would be the best). Is there any different on the tray between 17 pdr and 25 pdr ammo trays that came with the No 27 trailer ? If so, any photo for the 17 pdr ammo rounds tray ? Thanks in advance Kurtis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rnixartillery Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Kurtis, Are you looking for info on the early or late pattern ammunition trays,the other thing is I have no evidence that the 17 pdr ammunition was carried in the no27 limber it certainly would not fit in the standard tray.

morris c8 fat Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I will have a look I do know that limbers were used between gun and tractor and that No5 body Quads were addapted some how to carry 17pdr ammo in trays but I still havent found any drawings or pictures of the trays/racks I think MLU had a thread running about this a few years back.

rnixartillery Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 As far as I am aware the limber was used as a braking device when coupled to the 17 pdr. but this is a grey area and there does not seem to be much evidence just the odd picture !

kosbie Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Hi Attached are some photos of the early pattern 25pr trays from my limber. I will try and remember to get you some measurements the next time I go to where I store it Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtis Tsang Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 Dear All, Sorry for my late respond as my computer incurred some minor error during these few days. Yes, I found 2 pictures only evidence for No.27 limber with 17 pdr gun together.(see attached) Hi Rick, The early 25 pdr ammo tray is exactly what I wanted. Thanks a lot ! It will be great if you can take measurement for me later. Cheers, Kurtis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosbie Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Hi Kurtis The outside measurements of the ammunition tray are 5.25 x 10.25 x 31.0 (all in inches) Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
