[StartQuote] David Waples did some research on a rare (for PT use) 37mm automatic gun M1A2 and located a manual for it. He also identified an image I sent him (probably from Gene Kirklands site but I can't find it there now) of most likely a 300 series Elco 80 with one mounted to the bow. Technical Manual 37-mm Antiaircraft Automatic Gun M1A2 TM 9-235 37-mm AA Gun Materiel, 1944-01-24 [url]https://archive.org/download/TM9-235/TM9-235.pdf[/url] I did some digging and found a few other 37mm manuals on the site: TM 9-1235 Ordnance Maintenance: 37-mm Antiaircraft Gun Materiel, 1942-05-16 [url]https://archive.org/download/1942TM9-1235/1942TM9-1235.pdf[/url] TM 9-1235 Ordnance Maintenance-37-mm Antiaircraft Gun Materiel 1943-04-01 [url]https://archive.org/download/1943TM9-1235/1943TM9-1235.pdf[/url] ************************ The gun PT 109 had lashed to her forward deck when she went down, not an automatic gun like the others posted here: TM 9-1245 37-mm Gun, M3, and Carriage, M4, 1941-01-15 [url]https://archive.org/download/TM9-1245/TM9-1245.pdf[/url] TM 9-1245 37-mm Antitank Guns M3 And M3A1, And Carriages M4 And M4A1, 1943-02-06 [url]https://archive.org/download/1943TM9-1245/1943TM9-1245.pdf[/url] FM 23-70 37-mm Gun, Antitank, M3 1942-11-28 [url]https://archive.org/download/FM23-70/FM23-70.pdf[/url] ************************ Probably the most common automatic 37mm gun mounted on PTs, the M4: TM 9-240 37-mm Aircraft Gun Materiel M4, 1942-03-30 [url]https://archive.org/download/TM9-240/TM9-240.pdf[/url] ************************ No luck finding a manual for the later M9. This site has a lot of WW2 manuals including TM 9-240, 37mm Automatic Guns AN-M4 and M10 (Aircraft) in this section: [url]http://bulletpicker.com/technical-manuals.html[/url] [EndQuote]
