US ARMY M1914 HOTCHKISS MACHINE GUN INDIRECT FIRE TABLES
MANUAL, dtd 1918:
As printed on the fly leaf this original nine page
manual was translated from the French, by the
Headquarters American Expeditionary Forces, France in
1918. Each page has a different series of tables, such
as “CORRECTIONS OF ALTITUDE” FOR THE HOTCHKISS AND 1907
MODEL MACHINE GUNS – Firing the 1898 model bullet.” In
addition to these single page tables, there are two
additional fold out tables. The manual has seen use,
but no abuse or storage damage, is complete and very
readable, and is one of the relatively scarcer manuals
printed by the US Army in France. It is likely that as
the Hotchkiss passed from service in the US Army after
the war, that not many of these manuals were brought
home from Europe. $45
