\"Picture
Brochure 1936<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

This is a two page pamphlet\/brochure from 1936 printed on glossy paper by J. D. Qvist & Company in Copenhagen. Notice the modern font and the name indicating that the brochure is later than January 1936.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several pictures of mounts but no explanation to the illustrations besides the DIS code (more pictures in the follow up blog post).
Each mount has a letter and a number, these were DIS designations or abbreviations of the different mounts. We are sure that there was some sort of price list or other explanation accompanying the brochure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on other sources the designations for N1 \u2013 N3 are the following
N.1 \u2013 Naval mounting (stationary) for MADSEN 20 mm gun
N.2 \u2013 Submarine mounting for MADSEN 20 mm gun
N.3 \u2013 Twin mounting for two MADSEN 20 mm guns<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
