Basically what >>32884288 said.

Good way to remove mines, or how to get a weeks worth of cotton picked in 8 hours.

>>32884681
Anything about the other pics?

>>32884742
Looks like a collection from some engineer. They took photos of everything in the military. The mortar system looks like a wire removal device. Essentially what it talks about in the papers. Either an engineer that worked on this stuff kept some documents afterwards or some private found it in a box in the trash pile and thought it was neat. Which it is very neat.

>>32884799
Nice. Ill probably frame a couple of the pics.

>>32884333
Great view of engine and transmission (note square PTO (power takeoff) cover plate. Excellent pics, especially the still shots which may not exist anywhere else.

Find a tank forum to post these on! While Hobart's Funnies are decently documented more is always better.

>>32884437
Looks like a patent application! Scan all that shit at good rez and spread it around. If you send the pics to

sobacretok9 at gmail dot com

I'll run them by my tank expert bro. He has a photographic memory so if there's anything special he'll know. Perhaps the inventor had a different "funny" in mind which may or may not have been built.

Thanks very much for posting. The inventor is long dead but I'd like to figure out what he was working on. Mine flails and ploughs have come a long way but this is how ya find historic nuggets of info.

>>32884808
Save it all and do it well.

>>32884189
Comb this out of your whiskers, the British think of everything

>every pic itt is sideways

dropped

>>32884333
Closer inspection shows that's a truck engine, transmission and he used the truck frame to support it. That's not the tank engine, making his mine flail independently powered.

>>32884879
Yeah man I'll get that emailed to you. Thank yall for the information.

Looks like whoever owned that cabinet was a German spy.
