H10 and H20 portable bridges- UPDATED!

Post by Fort Susquehanna »

I'm interested in finding any manuals which cover the US H10 and H20 portable steel bridges. I'm particularly interested in the H10. These bridges are illustrated in FM 21-105, "The Engineer Soldier's Handbook." But I am looking for the TM's which cover just this equipment.

**UPDATE: I found the manual number and missed it on ebay. I am looking for a TM 5-274, also known as Portable Bridges H10 and H20. If you find one for sale, I'd appreciate the lead.

Man,

i was SO CLOSE! I finally found the bridge manual hat I knew I had around here and its TM5-273, NOT TM5-274... It covers the 25 ton Ponton bridge Model 1940, not the H10 and H20 bridges.

Still a very cool piece!
