XM151 - Study Dated October 1954

Unread post by mrdibbles » January 29th, 2016, 11:21 pm

Hey Guys-
I bought this interesting original study, dated 1954, on Ebay. Thought I would share some of the pages here. It's 25 pages long with photos, descriptions, and comparisons to other 1/4-ton variants that we being tested. Main "study" though is between M-38A1 and XM-151. *Forgive the picture quality issues... Photobucket is down so I'm trying a new service (seems to resize and not rotate the images.

Pretty cool that this stuff is still out there...

Hey Fil-
That's my intention. I want to have a new binding put on this and when I do, and the pages are all a part, I'll have copies made.
