3" Mortar information
I have several questions related to 3" Mortar and associated CES that goes with them.
By asking my questions in this thread, I hope to learn and build an information base for those that have info and require info.
Base plates
I have attached several pics showing a rectangular base plate and a plate with tapered corners/edges. Why is this?
I have heard that there was a modification/build change late in the war and that all early base plates were scrapped and replaced with the new rectangular model base plate?
How many aiming posts are utilised with the mortar?
