Re: WWII FDC equipment
Ol SSG Tilton, he said for his AIT FDC training class, the first day, the Sr Instructor had them push a towed 155mm howitzer around the parking lot for two hours. Then after handed them a Plotting Pin. He told them they could either do their job by pushing a cannon around or by pushing plotting pins in a Firing Chart, as motivation to pass their 13E MOS.

Re: WWII FDC equipment
I put in a request for info on the Firing Chart over at BraveCannons.org if anybody has the dims for the wood chart base itself or the NSN for the pre-printed grid overlay opague plastic sheet on the rool.
Do you have an arty unit you support or just a separate FDC project?

Thank you. Separate effort. Possibly the FA museum. But they don't have anything "extra" to lend to the effort.
