<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 87719, member: 54"]I think you'll get a good answer if you write your request in French even if googlefrench and post it on one of the French antiques or collectibles forums. I had good success getting info on French artillery that way. I hadn't been able to find it any other way. I translated my request and responses using Google translate and had no problem. I would translate English to French then do it in reverse to see if it still made sense. If it didn't read like good English after reversing, I'd change a few words where the problem seemed to be and that fixed it. I did the same thing quite extensively on Italian and Spanish forums. The Spanish naval history site gave me info on a book on Spanish naval ordnance which I was able to buy that answered dozens af questions I'd had for years. Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
