I am looking for documents, schematics, or photos that show detailed photos of the interior of the British MK 1 gun carrier. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you Charlie, I have access to that document already. Do you know if there are any schematics for the Mark 1 engine/transmission and the Differential and driveshaft?
There is a thread on this forum of an ongoing project to create an accurate 3D model of the engine and transmission of a (I think) Mark IV. I believe the Mark I was
similar. I can't remember whether it was complete but I have a recollection it was very impressive.
I had seen that thread and it seemed that it was abandoned unfortunately. In regards to the manual of the Mark 1, I have found a way to acquire a copy of the maintenance manual for the Mark IV but I am unsure if the engine and transmission would be the same or at least a adequate facimile.
The Mark IV engine and transmission were pretty much the same as the Mark I. There was a proposal to switch to a planetary gear steering system
but this wasn't ready by the time Mark IV production started but was used in the Mark V. The Ricardo engine the Mark V used wasn't anywhere near ready
when the Mark IVs were produced.
There is another possibility - I built a 1:18 scale Little Willie cardmodel a few years ago and that had a complete model of the engine and transmission.
Little Willie used the same 13 litre sleeve valve engine and a similar transmission to Mother and the Mark I.
The model designer was Dave Winfield (https://davesdesigns.ca/dcc/) and he may be able to help with the source of his information for Little Willie.
