Thanks Heuhen, I had found all of that stuff but nice to have it neatly categorized on one page.
I'm really looking for schematics again. Width of the director platform, height of the director body, etc.

It's that time again! I'm looking specifically for SCHEMATICS of this director. I have a very nice set of to-scale Floating Drydock plans that I am using to draw the newest version of this director, but I'd like to have several sources to confirm the size and shape of it first. Photos of the director and its associated radars (Mk.12, Mk.25, etc) would be appreciated as well! Thanks in advance. |

Yep, agreed... I couldn't find anything relevant after hours of searching, hence this thread. |

Have you checked okieboat.com (I think the URL is...)??? I have very good 3D renderings of this director from that site. |

Yep indeed - though that site shows the Mk.37 as equipped with the later (generally post-war) Mk.25 radar dish. Right now I am looking primarily for the Mk.22/12 combination (square antenna + "orange peel"), or the earlier Mark 4 which shows up on some earlier USN combatants. Thanks all. |

The only thing I've found is that the rangefinder is supposed to be 15'. Your best bet might be to take some good drawings of a ship with them and extrapolate the dimensions from there. |
