Late night batch of images.

In this image the bevel gears in the middle of the block, drive the shafts, that go down to the oil pumps. I'll clean up a couple of oil pump pictures too, I've been meaning too, the engine is really clever. 

Kicking a dead horse, is amusing.

On the A57 from the start it used a dry sump system, with a big main suction pump and a secondary scavenger pump, and a big ass tank of oil mounted on the inside of the fighting compartment on the rear wall. 
 
Gas is sucked through one big mechanical pump for all motors. 
 
The cooling system was only only one that used pumps mounted on each engine bank, but the belt loads cause poor service life, so they switched to one MASSIVE water pump. 

Look at this BLOCK!!

I have a bunch of images in the works, but finished this one. Last year I got my hands on a copy of Ord 7 SNL G-104 Tank, Medium, M4A3, 105-mm Howitzer. This is just a suppliment to the G-10X for the M4A3 tanks, for the items specific to the 105 tanks. The pictures in this are better than the WWII parts catalogs. The 105-mm M4 Howitzer image in this catalog is was very nice and needed very little improvement once scanned. 
 
 
 
This is the older one I had, from TM9-7018, Medium Tank M4A3. The image quality in this manual is not so good. 
 
 
 
This was as nice as I could get this one. This image has just been reproduced to many times on bad scanners.

New A57 image and fixed the older one. 
 
Here, you can see the belt driven water pumps and generator. The Generator was moved to the fighting compartment, run from a the drive shaft. 
 
 
 

Look at that magnificent son of a bitch!!   This is the almost final version, the final major change was to move all the carbs up in a row at the top of the motor. They solved the different length tubes going to each engine by putting baffles in them to get even flow across all five carburetors.  Finding images of this is hard most display motors have the earlier setup.
 
Here's one.

I've gotten really good at fixing messed up scans, and cleaning up old images. I have a system to the simple ones can be done in like 10  to 15 minutes. The complicated ones depend on how many extra things I want to label, and how bad the original was. 
 
Bad scan
 
FIxed
 
A few more GAA things. I'm going to redo all these one more time. 
 
 
 
I put a little tutorial on my website about scanning printed media. Descreen is your friend people!!
 

I now have at least one of those for each engine.  The A57 is going to have four more.
 
I have the shop manuals, parts catalogs and TMs for all the different engines now, and enough other material, I really think I'm going to put a little book together based on my Data booklet I did for the GAA.
