Manual of Modern Automatic Guns

The St. Lo Collection, 1994.001.0928

Machine guns and submachine guns provided a large volume of fire, but they were complex machines that required routine maintenance to function properly. A wide variety of technical manuals were available to servicemen; this book, produced in London, contains instructions for many British automatic weapons. It also contains a section on Thompson submachine guns, which were provided to the United Kingdom under the Lend Lease agreement.
