    I'm looking for a PDF of Technical Manual 5-277 on the M1 or M2 Bailey Bridge of WWII era. If possible it'd also be nice to get any British manual involving the Bailey type brides as well. I need these manuals because I'm going to be designing a 3D printable 3D model of various components of the Bailey types that are missing in a certain 1/35 model kit. Eventually I will also be designing a new kit from the "ground-up," no pun intended, using the information from the manuals and with physical reference to that kit. I have a PDF for the M2 Bailey but that was published in 1986. I'd rather use the 1940's manuals so I know that I am designing this true to WWII spec. I've searched but can only find the 1986 printing. Thanks for any and all help.

    Mike

    No I never saw that before. But it doesn't have what I'm looking for.

    The Tasman bridge, a mighty bridge connecting Hobart with the eastern suburbs was run into by a drunk captain and took out a major pylon...the centre collapsed and I think a couple of people died. Anyway the crossing over the Derwent was joined again by a Bailey bridge which was meant to be temporary...it stayed there for about ten years! Never a problem with it either...
