C60X Machinery bodies..Manuals of equipment? surviving "complete" examples?

[Noel Burgess]

Alex the drawings (2) list all machinery roles and the differances in door arrangement; if you PM your e-mail address I can send you details.
Also I have on my computer 4 images of the interior of a role A C60X - these were saved from a thread on MLU, they were photographs from a book in (i think) a canadian museum taken on 29/06/2007 but I can't find the thread and forgot to note the poster or thread number.

Here's one in the Western desert. The other two are just because I guess.

@ Nick
The PU was really fun to do, but it's a bit of a shame that I haven't finished any models since than! I really want to get some Canadian projects done now....with the C60X, LAAT, HUP/HUW/HUA and C8 high on the wish list!
Will send you a PM.

@ Noel
Some interior pics of a C60X on our own forum? hmmm...the search function is a real challenge sometimes....with most of the CMP types under the minimum word length it often requires some clever thinking or a good memory who posted it! Will send you my email-address through PM.

@ Dave
Excellent pictures, but sadly not the body I am looking for. I have attached a picture from forum member Serge, which shows the big box I am looking for.

Alex,

Here is a photo of the page from "Design Record, Canadian-Developed Military Vehicles World War II, Volume VI Technical Vehicles" dealing with Machinery Lorry type C.

I believe that the page from the Gregg book that identifies the vehicle as a type L should in fact be a type C.

I have photos of the entire page from the book but will just post the one for now to see if enough detail shows up.

If there is enough detail, please let me know and I will post the other photos.

On second thought... Here are the other photos of the page.

Colin,

Great stuff and thanks for posting these! This is indeed the kind of info I am looking for, but you can never have enough...or I am just getting spoiled

Indeed it seems that the rear-side picture you posted and the one in Bill Gregg's book are one and the same. This basically confirms that the one in Gregg's book is indeed a Machinery Type C and not an L as described in the book. This also means that the top view drawing, the description that Noel posted and the interior pictures are from one and the same type...which forces me to think about building a Type C! Funny though that most of the restored examples nowadays seem to be of the type without generator doors...with twin side benches and double rear doors.

Is it possible for you to send me some larger scans/bigger pics through email?

3kw, 110 volt DC, Outboard Marine or Lryland generator driven by Briggs & Stratton engine

This sounds like a Chore Horse(?)

The chorehorse output was 300W, only 1/10 that given above, as well the later (postwar?) chorehoses were 24V system (and I think the earlier ones were 12V but am not sure). I don't know what Briggs & Stratton engine would have been used for a 3KW output, maybe a nominal 8 horsepower after allowing for losses in generation. I got your PM but have not yet put together an answer.
