ammo crates..wooden, 2-round boxes--for 105mm howitzer illumination rounds.
Need to either revamp some boxes I have or remark them, for a dio project
that will go into a local military museum. Please respond here or by e-mail
above Thanks.

Do you have a real box or a model? I have a 1951 supply catalog and 1950
Artillery Ammunition TM that ought to have all you need. The amount of
detail is scale related, of course. I scanned the attached awhile ago.
(I'll send you a larger copy.) Tomorrow I can dig the books out and tell
you what needs to change for an illum box.
