25 pounder Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 A friend of mine is selling a generator , former U S Army , as he claims it ; I went to have a look , engine and generator are separated from eachother , very small petrol engine ( could be Ford , but not sure of that) and generator is made by O Keefe & Merrit, Sorry no pictures available for the moment , Did the US forces ever used any of that equipment in WW 2 ?

25 pounder Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 That type of generator was used with the Bofors gun , for the land forces and also for the air force (anti aircraft ) and navy (on board of the vessels) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
