I'm going to try to cheat and print a half page here, if it does not work I will do it individually. 3 US, 2 Persian (Iran)
Bill
OK, need to separate, will do so soon

Bill Murray · #4 28-10-04, 23:50

More Iran

Awesome Bill. Keep them coming mate

Bill Murray · #6 29-10-04, 00:03

Couple more.
Bill
OK guys, the usual caveat, I am still learning photo edit program #3. Give me some time and I can enhance the images but am just trying to get something out there.
This 1944 brochure has about 100 images that I will try to get over here in time.

A couple for you my dear friend Hanno:
It was just that at 6'6" I find it hard to remember that you are a citizen of the "Lowlands".
Still learning new scanner, I do not like it by the way, it is the type you have to put the pic face down and close a cover as opposed to the other where the pic is face up and visible.
Anyway, a TBS 30 Light Tractor for the Netherlands.

1941 MM5-6 Crash Tenders for Java. Do not know if they made it.

Model not given and I am not that good at armour.
MH tanks on manouvers in Dutch Guiana (Surinam)

A short Post It note about these MH images. They are all taken from catalogues from the late 1930s through about 1944. The "hot ticket" in that era for such publications was to print them in half tone, sepia colours. Sort of a brownish cast to all the photos and a lot of orange borders etc.
If someone can tell me how to clean that up I will try. You all know full well that I am not good with 'puters.

I have, by the way, tried the command "get rid of redeye" and "enhance photo" and it does not seem to help.

Thanks for all of those pictures!
Any armoured cars for export included in those brochures, light gun trucks?
Greetings,

Nuyt:
Yes, both and more. Problem is that I have to scan a whole page as many times as there are photos I want to post and then edit each photo which takes a lot of time. I am sure I will figure out how to copy once and edit it several times (or Hanno will tell me) and then it will go faster. Sundays are not good for the hobby until the evening so I may not get more done for a day or two but I will try. Right now it is morning coffee time so I am safe.

As of August 1941 five of the fifteen needed were on hand, with 10 still on order. Five trucks were expected in September/ October, the delivery date of other five was uncertain - see Truck, 3-ton, 6x6, Crash Tender (Ford/Marmon-Herrington MM5-6).
