From another forum - a catalogue of Schneider material up to 1917 - includes the Schneider CA1 tank and lots of other interesting material.

Nice catch Charliewink

from the same source photo albums of  Russian delegations to Schneiders 1916 includes much testing of guns... 

http://octant.u-bourgogne.fr/portail/documentsafb//0064ZH/0064ZH000009/

Though I'm able to access 100s of pdf from the original online achive I cant find the actual index that gives the titles nor the official method of doing so? but I think its starts here at http://www.afbourdon.com/ note the "documentsafb" in the original link..... I recall trying this before...

This link gives a partial English translation of the same French pdf document posted by Charlie above... "Artillery Material in service on the Allied front 1914-17"

 It seems not. That picture has appeared in Tank Zone (or GBM). François V says it's genuine. But no clue what "Type A" was . . .

Looks like a great find, but I've not had any luck with the site as yet.  Once you've figured it out, it'd be appreciated if you'd tell us non-French speakers how to conduct a search through these files.

 Hi James basically this is the Schneider Archive it includes official docs, photo albums and books from at least the early 1800s etc etc... its difficult to use, not user friendly and often has broken links or ones that you have alter to get to work....

The search engine is here :

http://www.afbourdon.com/           

click on "Archives Industrielles" which will take you here:

http://www.afbourdon.com/Rubriques/archives.htm

And then on the right hand side of the page : Rechercher en ligne (there another link for inventory as well)

this will take you here:

http://octant.u-bourgogne.fr/portail/modules/edito/content.php?id=20&pid=0

Theres a number of options available at this point to different parts of archive one for photographs will take you here:

http://octant.u-bourgogne.fr/portail/modules/sdwportal/recherches.php?op=get&idrecherche=18

from here on your own as for me its like playing blind mans buffsmile 

 

However here are entrys for 47 artillery photo Albums and individual photos, Argentinian, Russian, Greek Belgian, Brazilian etc...

 

Cheerswink

Translated all the instructions using Google and still don't have an idea as to how to access the material!  Sometimes I get rewarded with titles, sometimes not while using the same procedure.  But having found some, I can then use Galiica for further search.

It really is a crap shoot, isn't it . . .

What a beautiful document that catalogue is. Some truly wonderful equipment designs there.

My favourite is the 'Obusier De 200 Schneider Sur Affut-Truck' on pages 176-182.

 

Thank you for sharing this.

The Obusier de 200mm "Pérou" sur affût tous azimuts was an ALVF ordered by the Peruvian Govt in 1908, built in 1912 and requisitioned in 1914. There were only 2 built.

They seem to have been in service at least until 1915, although ammunition supply would have been an issue since 200mm wasn't a standard French calibre. The rate of fire was fairly low (1.5 rounds/min) because the gun had to traverse back to 0 deg to line up with the shell handling gear after each shot.

Regards,

Charlie

Hello all.

Thank you very much, Charles, for the catalog! IMHO, it's much better than its 1914 analog on Gallica. Found there a 75-mm semi-auto gun M1908:

0064Z4614_290.jpg0064Z4614_291.jpg

Regarding the archive, it was placed on-line in November 2012, but personally I was not able to use it for more than a year. And even now I'm getting errors (Erreur lors du store de cette recherche) when I try to use search.

Interestingly, there're labels in Russian dated 13 February 1948 on http://octant.u-bourgogne.fr/portail/documentsafb//0064ZH/0064ZH000009/0064ZH000009-02.pdf and http://octant.u-bourgogne.fr/portail/documentsafb//0064ZH/0064ZH000009/0064ZH000009-10.pdf.

As far as the site is down at the moment, I uploaded 50+ armament-related documents to Google Drive: drive.google.com/folderview
