Thanks Dusan, but have seen that mount in the museum, and took some pic's.
On the Hydra/Lewis Motley Mount, found some more snippets, it was the company Hydran Products Ltd. from Staines Middx. that did development and production on the Motley mounts, and other rocket type of mounts? will search further!! Have found out that Lewis Motley probably worked for the Hydran Products Ltd. and he started patenting many military inventions at the outbreak of the war, before the war the company was involved in central heating supplies and such things.

The over the shoulder mount for a single LMG like I made is the simplest to do. I could make up some drawings with measurements but can't take the time until October or so. Harvest is just about here and that keeps me busy for a month.
Could you email me a copy of the Norton Motley picture? I just have a low res one off the net.

David, the scan is way too big for emailing, and I paid over $200 for the neg and scanning, so can not give it away.
Can mail you the Motley piece though, let me have your email. Cheers, Lex welbike(at)welbike.net

Here's one in foreign hands from another thread.
Quote:
If you find any mention of a Motley on any of the other military forums they just point the member to this thread since it's the most info on the subject that there is. It didn't get that way by people not sharing!!! Enough said.

Well David, this thread is about Motleys, and as I said above that's no problem, send me your email address, and I'll send a scan of the Motley mount, and it will be a lot better quality than anything posted here before.
Am very reluctant now to post complete pictures, as I have seen my pictures later for sale on ebay! but the main reason is not the $$ but I'm writing a book on the B4's, and you cannot give out all the info, and then try to market a book later! Hope you see my view, and this is a nice thread about Motley mounts, but have sofar not seen anything here, that I can take to an engineer, and say to him, "please build me this one please" Cheers, Lex

I found these on the HMV forum. They look like Vickers guns.
