Oddball gunsight question

[Stickjockey]

Anyone know where I could pick up drawings/plans for a Barr & Stroud GM2 reflector gunsight?

No idea, but have you checked with Sarco?  They have everything.

I have nothing useful to add.  But, wow.  That is an oustandingly obscure request.

As the person who usually makes bizarre information requests on the internet, I salute you.  You've made my day slightly stranger by my researching this.  For any information junkies out there who want more weirdness: stirling cryocooler

Fly320s: Quick check of SARCO shows probably not. But then, they really don't deal in gunsights out of WW2-era fighters.

Nick: You're welcome.

That's a fighter sight?  Didn't know that.

Does England give public access to their patent office?

In 1900, the noted scientist and optical instrument designer, Sir Howard Grubb (1844-1931), filed Patent No.12108 for 'Improvements for sighting devices for guns'. In the following year the Royal Dublin Society published a paper by Sir Howard entitled 'A New Collimating Telescopic Gunsight for Large or Small Ordnance'.
