The image above shows a "Mirliton" model. It was a conical shako without a visor, surrounded by a cloth band with the colors of the regiment of belonging. This head cover was an emblem of the body of Husares, until the appearance of the Colbac. Adopted and adapted by many armies of the world. It was used by the French Husares during the early days of the Napoleonic Wars. The one in the photo is an old reproduction for theater or cinema, however it is a great example of what this type of shako was.

Schneider's Le Creusot. 194mm sur chenilles. Canon de 194 mle GPF on U.S Caterpillar Tractor Chassis.

Picture
Tracked 194mm Howitzer Carriage.
Weight: 32.6 tons
This WWI vintage 194mm heavy field howitzer could hurt a 174-pound projectile to a maximun range of 22,750 yards. In order to make this piece more mobile, the French mounted the howitzer on a tracked carriage. A heavy tractor towed the howitzer and its carriage 5 mph on roads and 1.9mph cross-country. An electric engine in the carriage powered the elevation and traversing of the gun. The engine was powered by a generator carried in an accompanying vehicle. It is uncertain whether the French ever used these howitzers in combat before they were captured by the Germans in 1940. A technical Intelligence team captured this howitzer in a German vehicle park near Paris, France 1944. Aberdeen Museum.

Gnome Monosoupape

Picture
The Monosoupape, French for sinfle-valve, was a particular engine design used by Gnome et Rhone's later rotary engines. It used a clever arrangement of internal ports and a single valve to replace a large number of parts normally found on a conventional arrangement, and make the Monosaupape engines some of the most reliable ofthe era.
