Glad to see the threads have been moved from the old sites, so to continue the bridging heres a rare shot of British engineers operating two lifting dericks both being driven by the Chicago compressor of i would guess between 4 and500 CFM

I have already referred to http://cgsc.leavenworth.army.mil/car...entdm/home.htm twice today - this is just a quick post to say that the "Obsolete Manuals " section includes "Ponton Manual 1917"

'37 Dodge 1 ton van..
Quote:
It looks like a '37 Dodge one ton van.. The wheels and that big chrome strip down the center of the grill give it away.. Here is a 1/2 ton civilian version. http://www.autogallery.org.ru/k/d/37...ickup2_NAC.jpg And another here http://www.autogallery.org.ru/k/d/37...up_Carsnet.jpg Check out the wheels and grill on this '36.. http://www.autogallery.org.ru/k/d/36...yl3spd_CCT.jpg Aussie version here http://www.autogallery.org.ru/k/da/3..._NormEllis.jpg

Class 50/60 Raft
In the January issue of "Military Machines International" Les Freathy produced a nice article on WW2 tailers - including one of the Class 50/60 raft trailer.
Here's some info from the Trux website: - The class 5/60 raft was only used, in NW Europe, for the Rhine crossing. The trailer was sopposed to be towed by a "Tractor 6 ton 4x4" but for the actual crossing they were towed by "Royal Artilery tractors from an AA unit" Can anyone add to this information? Noel
