ferretfixer Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 The simple 'X' pressing alone, is simply the earlier design. The rigidity of the cans was improved by the now 'Standard' 'X'. with a square in the centre. And is copied to this day, on pretty much all 'Jerry Can' patterns. I have a book on German Jerry cans, It cover's the entire range. & all the manufacturers. As well as related accessories, it describes their History & usage in Service Etc. A very good book, but it was quite expensive! But Hey! GOOD books normally are!....:-D I read a long while back, that someone was writing a book. That was to be titled: Jerry Cans, & Americans'. Does anyone know if it actually did get published at all? I would very much like to obtain a copy, if possible? Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
