DANFORTH ANCHOR - need information!

[Walt's Daughter]

Bud and several of us (including Don Prasse) have been corresponding via email the last week or so, but here is the latest from Bud. Some great news!!!!

 

Dear Marion & Don –

 

Just to let you know -

 

I may have hit pay dirt in my quest to find data about use of anchors in setting PONTON bridges!

 

Found a listing of technical manuals in one or another Combat Engineers website and went to WORLD CAT, an international library catalog.

 

Found the following and have requested them on interlibrary loan through my local library.

 

TM 5-273 – 25 Ton Ponton Bridge – 145 pages

TM 5-275 – Pneumatic Ponton Bridge – 60 pages

 

Hopefully there will be something to confirm use of Danforth anchors.

 

I’ll let you know.

 

 

Appreciatively,

 

Bud
