Bozothenutter Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Anybody know of a source of drawings/blueprints of this engine as used in the Mk.I-IV tanks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsman Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 You could ask Bovington archives, although currently closed until further notice. They have a lot of original WW1 tank drawings. [email protected] The Coventry Transport Museum has what are described as "technical drawings and blueprints, glass negatives of Daimler and Lanchester vehicles and factories" from 1900-1939. May be something there. [email protected] As for walk-rounds, there are only 10 surviving vehicles that used this engine, not all of them complete by any means. Perhaps 6 of these might still have their engines inside. I don't know of any dismounted engines anywhere. The MkII at Bovington has an open side and a complete engine which you can photograph easily. Their MkIV is complete and still technically a runner, but access is by special appointment only. None of this is any use unless getting to the UK is feasible for you. And the museum is closed until at least early July. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
