French Tank material in Gallica

Gallica has some new (or at least to me) documents online about the St Chamond and Renault tanks.

St Chamond Manual

Puteaux 37 mm Gun Manual (Renault gun)

Renault Manual 1922

Thanks for those.

I'll have to revise my opinion of the Saint-Chamond - I used to think it was a slow vehicle but the manual says it was capable of 12km/hr (7.4 mph) although

it probably wasn't recommended to run the engine that hard for extended periods. 

Regards,

Charlie

Does of the manuals mention magnification of gunsights?

Part deals with the Main gun (two types) machine guns and armour, I've not looked that closely just flipped through but their certainly worth downloading for the info contained... for those with little French language like me, the text can be copied into a translator and works pretty good.
