Subject: Diesels Motors mise in marche U-505 4 June 1994

Dear Sirs:

I am Juan Jaramillo and Blasco. I am 47 years old and I am for many years to the Amateur Radio. A few years ago, I read that on the occasion of the anniversary 50th of the capture by the US Navy's of U-505, the day 4/JUNE/1994, following a series of adjustments and advice from the Fabric MAN was place a diesel engine again after many years in desuse. Let me, so that I can share with my friends U-Historia, I need confirm these facts. I found a page that indicates: [www.historyarticles.com] may read:

"THE ENIGMA DEVICE AND THE M.A.N. MEDALLION ARE AMONG THE NUMEROUS ARTIFACTS IN THE U-505 EXHIBIT AT CHICAGO'S MUSEUM OF SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY. U-505 IS THE ONLY EXAMPLE OF AN ALMOST FULLY FUNCTIONING U-BOAT. ITS ORIGINAL TWIN SUPER-CHARGED NINE-CYLINDER DIESEL ENGINES REMAIN INTACT. AFTER THE WAR, M.A.N. GAVE TECHNICAL ADVICE TO U-505 RESTORERS, ALONG WITH FUEL- INJECTOR VALVES AND GAUGES. THE STARBOARD ENGINE WAS STARTED FOR THE 5OTH ANNIVERSARY OF U-505s CAPTURE."



Estimados Sres:

Soy Juan Jaramillo y Blasco. Tengo 47 años y soy desde hace muchos años aficionado a la Radio. Hace unos años, leí que con motivo del aniversario 50º de la captura por parte de la US Navy del U-505, el día 4/JUNIO /1994, tras una serie de ajustes y asesoramientos por parte de la casa MAN, se puso en marcha un motor Diesel otra vez pasados muchos años. Quisiera, para poderlo compartir con mis amigos de U-Historia, que me confirmasen estos hechos. He encontrado una página que lo indica así: [www.historyarticles.com] se puede leer:

"THE ENIGMA DEVICE AND THE M.A.N. MEDALLION ARE AMONG THE NUMEROUS ARTIFACTS IN THE U-505 EXHIBIT AT CHICAGO'S MUSEUM OF SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY. U-505 IS THE ONLY EXAMPLE OF AN ALMOST FULLY FUNCTIONING U-BOAT. ITS ORIGINAL TWIN SUPER-CHARGED NINE-CYLINDER DIESEL ENGINES REMAIN INTACT. AFTER THE WAR, M.A.N. GAVE TECHNICAL ADVICE TO U-505 RESTORERS, ALONG WITH FUEL- INJECTOR VALVES AND GAUGES. THE STARBOARD ENGINE WAS STARTED FOR THE 5OTH ANNIVERSARY OF U-505s CAPTURE."

Asímismo, agradecerles, tanto a Vdes. como a los habitantes de la Ciudad de Chicago, el haber conservado un auténtico testigo de categoría tan excepcional.



Also, thank you, both all you as the people of the City of Chicago, have retained an authentic witness so exceptional category.




Many thanks in advance.
