Description
The 155-mm Gun Motor Carriage M12 and Cargo Carrier M30 Technical Manual is a detailed guide to the design and operation of two significant vehicles from World War II. Developed during the Second World War, the M12 was a self-propelled gun built on the chassis of the M3 Lee tank, with an armored driver's compartment and a gun crew located in an open-topped area at the back of the vehicle. The M30, a similar vehicle without the gun, was designed to transport the gun crew and additional ammunition. This technical manual, originally labeled restricted, has been declassified and is now available in book form. It provides a comprehensive overview of the M12's engine, cooling, power, suspension, and other systems, making it a valuable resource for those interested in military history and technology.
