Lanchester Manual?


Recommended Posts

I forgot that it's a French Lanchester manual. Here are some photos.

It's the only Lanchester manual I've ever seen, or had in my collection. I tend to like to keep the unique ones.

Thanks for posting those. I really like the fold-out cutaway views or should I say "les coupes." It's been 50+ years since high school French and I'm pretty sure the vocabulary that I learned then wouldn't have been much use in reading that manual. If you ever stumble across a pair of English manuals. keep me in mind for the second one

I forgot about a British manual series that has a short section on the Lanchester (3 pages, plus a fold-out diagram). I have had it for a very long time, and it's titled, "The Armourer's Handbook," by Labore, and was published by Gale and Polden Limited in Aldershot during the war.

 

The manual briefly covers examination, stripping, and tests (troubleshooting).
