It;s in my lab but I don't think these are 1940s students, more like 60s.. but if anyone has any thoughts... https://www.dropbox.com/s/35ntzcnna5...1940s.jpg?dl=0 I would never have thought 1940’s, maybe late 1950’s, early 1960’s. -- Regards, Savageduck |

BTW: Depending on the ammo can type you would have either 270 or 380 rounds of .50 Cal linked with metal links. The “nine yard” cans held 270 rounds. The other thing to consider is the actual weight of each of those cans with that much ammo, and the metal link belt. I always thought it was an american football term ;-0 Nope.

I always thought it was an american football term ;-0 Nine yards has no real significance in American football. It's a gain or loss in yardage, but the significant measurement is ten yards. If a team gains ten yards or more in their series of plays, the next down is a first down and they have four more downs in possession. As clear as mud :-) The difference between American football and European football is that the American football players attempt to advance the ball towards the opponent's goalposts. European football players mostly mill around the middle of the field kicking the ball to and fro and not advancing it in either direction. Also, when an American football player goes down, it is because an opponent, or a gaggle of opponents, has forced him down to stop his advance. When a European football player goes down, it is a dramatic move worthy of a BAFTA award for Best Performance for a Solo Effort. Then there is this http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/..._Black_Sam.jpg or http://tinyurl.com/y8hvl7n4 It looks as though a giant wall is about to descend on the ball carrier. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |
