This may be of some use. The drawing comes from some papers loaned to me by Rob Love.

Default Thanks!!

Hey Jon

I got your letter in the mail today, Thank you very much it will come in handy when I am ready to try and figure out the shape it is in and how to assemble. Does anyone have or know where to get some poles for this beast? I might be able to get some made based on the manual from Jon but if I can get the real thing that would be better.

Gary

Gary: The poles are made from the same material as the framework for the Modular Tentage.

It seems that all metal items related to any kind of similar tentage is very hard to find.

Good luck!

Default Poles

Hey Jon

Again Thank you very much, if you ever need anything and I can help let me know. I have an M152CDN dated 1954, it has the poles on the roof for a penthouse, think this one would fit?

As for the poles I might be able to fab something up based on the drawings in the manual you sent.

I'd say that the roof configuration differences between the 1 1/4T and the M152 would preclude a matchup of what you have.

Start fabbing
