15cm M1893 Wheel Drawings
Permalink   

 

I've had a request for drawings of the wheels/hubs for a 15cm M1893 Howitzer. The gun in question is located in a tiny town in Northern Victoria called Nyah (attached). It's one of two 15cm M1893s in Australia - the local RSL in Swan Hill (nearest large town) is interested in restoring this gun and a pair of 25 Pounder Short guns at Nyah.

Anyone help? They'll have to get some hubs machined as well.

Regards,

Charlie

Charlie,

I am heading over that way this weekend - where abouts in Nyah are the guns?

I would be most interested in photographing and measuring them.

Cheers!

Neil.

The guns are in a park on River St. Google says the address is 37 River St (-35.171074,143.380299). There are memorial gates opposite Bell St - the guns are behind the gates (attached from Google street view).

Regards,

Charlie

15cm93 

hi Charly,

The diameter of the wheels is 121cm and wheelwidth is 10

I belive that mr Lovett has a drawing of the 15cms.FH.

By my last visit in Idar Oberstein Artillyschool ( Germany ) last summer i made a lot of foto's and mesurments because I am making a model of it.

I wil post some on fotobucket and sent a link

Thank you.

I've passed the information to the guys from the Swan Hill RSL who are restoring the howitzer at Nyah.

I notice there isn't an article on the 15cm sFH 93 on Landships II - may I use your walkaround images of the howitzer at the Artillerieschule with appropriate attribution in a Landships II article?

Regards,

Charlie

Hi Charlie,

Might these drawings help? 'Das Gerät der Schweren Artillery' states the wheel size as 1230 mm. This does include the metal hoop around it, so I guess without it 1210 mm that Lieven states is correct.

Hi Lieven,

Nice model! I look forward to seeing the completed model. What scale is it? Interesting way you use to place the spokes, putting the rim over some drawings... I think I will adopt this method as well...

With kind regards,

-Arie.
