Hi Ron
Well advances in technology generally exist to make things quicker and
easier. I could just as easily have asked if anyone has any A1 or A0
schematics that they could post to me so I could work on modifications,
it amounts to the same difference. I could do either from scratch but
time is of the essence and if there is a basis out there to work from
then it would help. The modification that I'm performing could not be
just done without any planning and whether I plan it on paper and waist
countless trees with different designs, or perform it on screen with the
ability to not only make slight modifications to existing designs
without having to re-draw the entire thing from scratch, but also give
me the ability to import the designs into other packages to test stress
points etc that might not be apparent from a basic drawing I consider
using technology as an advantage to this.
If technology is such a total waist of time, why has so much been
invested into it and why is it used in almost everything daily. Yes
great things were done in the 40's and 50's and hence that is why I have
chosen an M35 for the trip, and hence I still collect Vinal for my
music, but that doesn't mean that technology now cannot aid. For
example why do you post so many messages in this group if technology has
no use?
Thanks to those of you that offered help and encouraging response
Mike

Subject: Re: [MV] M35 CAD Diagram
HUH????
Damn...does the Mark 1 computer require CAD for thinking up a
conversion??
Converting it to what? Accuracy??? Heard of a rule?
I think the CAD for the M35A2 is on the shelf next to the CADs for
the
Model T, B52 and M47, along with other obsolete equipment.
Boy are we lucky they had CAD in the 40's and 50's or we wouldn't
now
have the fine vehicles they built back then. Oh, yeah CAD stood for
Capable
Automotive Designer back then. Used things like rules, both slide and
steel
and could conceptualize a design using their minds and paper and
pencils.
Best find another truck to take around the world, cause you're gonna
be
screwed when you run out of extension cords and your sat link and
plotter
stop working just as you get a flat or blow a u joint...
The M35 was designed using old fashioned know how, utilizing off the
shelf technology modified to fit the requirements of the Military.
I gotta go work on my deuce now, and I don't use CAD, but use
the
Force. Not Obi Wan type, but greasy hands type.
Maybe you could just go around the world using virtual reality?
