It's interesting too by what the way the chap does making plates. A friend of mine uses the place there people makes them of the black lack on alluminium.
I need some of also by my old iron has solid zink tables with chemically relief. Yea, does the plate indicates a volume of flued required for correcting due to pressures combination? And does the gun ready to fire? Any help and all the best ![]() Vlad |

добрый день Slava!
Спасибо мой друг!! I thought I was on the right track but as you noted one of the words was wrong which made a big difference. I will be seeing my friend who does the artwork tonight and we will make up the English version of the plate. I will post the results so you can check our work. ![]() The plate clearly refers to the recoil system of the gun and is a guide to the Gunners on adjusting the fluids and the gas pressure so the recoil will work in all weather. Extremes of hot and cold as enjoyed in Russia and Canada can make a big difference in the efficiency of the recoil. When it gets too cold the system will become 'looser' and it will slam back and forth with poor buffering so the Gunners must add more pressure. As the system gets warm the pressures rise so the Gunners need to release some pressure or the recoil becomes too stiff! There are places that can etch the data plates as on older vehicles. they use the same artwork but use a different ink that is resistant to the acid so the printed areas do not etch. You should be able to find someplace in Russia that can do this... try photographers with older darkrooms. If not, there is a chap in Poland who does good work and he might be able to make the plates you need. He posts on the G503 and the CCKW forums. I can look up his contact info if you wish. Thanks again, Slava! Ура! Mike ![]() ![]()

Hi Mike,
I suppose the mistake was a big trouble, you had good chances without it. Sorry you had to wait my visit, lots of to do. Please check out for Polish artist, I'm being in Poland some times in a year, it's not too far. Photoetch is a problem in Russia now, especially for marking plates. It comes close to criminal by the way of stoling cars. There was no problems in Soviet times when lot of people works in a military production and did magic works during his job time having all materials for free. It's gone now... Vlad |

Hello George,
How does your search for Lanova engine? I have the plate but with another ch-number, I think it's good to have a clear one to fill it from my frame. Lend-Lease vehicles haven't plates in Russian so English comes well. What's a truck in a yard not far from you living? Didn't you make photos? I'm in interest for some cab parts including dash board, windshield frame and cab canvas frame as partly also. Hi Hanno, Holland is the main source of parts and info for my project so I like the country of wind mills too much. I saw a pair of CMPs in Marshall museum, they are impressive of they hood appearence ![]() Thank you for the link ![]() Mike, thank you and waiting for the artwork ![]() Yea, that Polish chap has lots of. Now the problem is to get a time for one more deal ![]() |

Some progress during the summer.
Have bought 11 brand new tyres and fit them up. Also the frame is under construction. Last edited by Slava; 25-09-12 at 17:32. |
