Hi,
on the pic below (if the copy-paste works !) you can see a kind of cylindrical extension to the left smoke discharger wiring protection. It runs along the CITV hole cover.


My bet is this is the plug for the USMC MCD. Am I right or wrong and if this is the case how is the MCD properly plugged into this ?

TIA

Yes, this is a connector for MCD. All M1A1HC tanks are wired for MCD use, but only UCMC actually use them on their M1s. Unfortunately I don't know how exactly cables are attached to it.

Thank you Pawel.
I just hope Tank leader could be able to provide us with some pics of the MCD plugged.
If so, thanks in advance

The first two are Jan Willem's from tanxheaven, the last, hopefully with his permission, is Toad's. I know Andy Elesky has several pics of the MCD but will leave him the opportunity to post them since I can't find them anywhere on the net.

Thanks Bro,
I got the 2 first too.
Obviously, there are two plugs. On the MCD, it seems there is just one.
So we all look for the missing link... Andy's pics.

Thats not the port where you plug the MCD into.



So...
a) What is this?
b) Where do you plug the MCD into?
