My name is al kose, and im one of the volunteers here. Were going to talk about the american m4 medium tank. Probably one of the most prolific tanks of the Second World War. This particular example was one of the earlier versions. This is the m4a3 tank. This is armed with a 75 millimeter main gun. If we move to the commanders weapons station here, it also has the caliber 50 machine gun up top where the commander is. And it also has two m19 1930 caliber machine guns. One is mounted with the main gun and the other is mounted here up in the front of the tank. And this one is manned by the battle gunner. If you look at the battle gun, he can move it up and down. He can show you the way the ball turret works. That machine gun is protruding through this ball mount here and beyond that has the workings of the gun. He has his ammunition back there in a catch bag to catch the shell casings as they come out. If you look at the top of the hatch right over his right shoulder there, theres a perisc
Has stuck with me ever since, and the lesson of it draws from two parts, two separate biblical texts. One is from second kings, if youre interested, chapter four.

So, he set it before them, and they ate, and they had some left, just as the lord told him. And theres an incident from the new testament where jesus is confronted with a crowd of people, 5,000 people. How are we going to feed all these people . And one of his disciples says, well, heres a young boy with five barley loaves and two fish. Not a lot. It could take like six months of six months worth of pay to feed the crowd of 5,000. All weve got is five barley loaves and two fish. Jesus said,
If we move to the commanders weapons station here, it also has the caliber 50 machine gun up top where the commander is. And it also has two m19, 1930 caliber machine guns. One is mounted with the main gun and the other is mounted here up in the front of the tank. And this one is manned by the battle gun. If you look at the battle gun, he can move it up and down. He can show you the way the ball turret works. This has the workings of the guns, his ammunition back there and a catch bag to catch the shell casings as they come out. If you look at the top of the hatch right over his right shoulder there, theres a parascope that goes in there. It fits up into that through that space and sticks up. And inside that parscope is a is a lens that has a rhett key in it. He uses that reticle to fire that machine gun. Now this one here, theres another machine gun on this side, this is the other m1919. This is not with the main gun. This one is controlled by the gunner. He has some switchology in hi
