Historical Significance
The 105mm M49 Howitzer and M85 Mount were used in the M52 self-propelled howitzer. The M52 carried the M49 in the M85 turret mount with 105mm ammunition on board.
The M52 was part of early Cold War Army artillery. It gave crews a tracked 105mm fire support vehicle with an enclosed turret. This manual helps tell the service and repair story behind that system.
