Question: The M22 Locust, officially Light Tank (Airborne), M22, was an American-designed airborne light tank which was produced during World War II, the United States Ordnance Department was asked to produce this replacement, which in turn selected which American manufacturer of axles and transfer cases for trucks and other vehicles?
Context: The T-70 was a light tank used by the Red Army during World War II, replacing both the T-60 scout tank for reconnaissance and the T-50 light infantry tank for infantry support.  The T-80 light tank was a more advanced version of the T-70 with a two-man turret—it was produced only in very small numbers when light tank production was abandoned.  The T-90 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun was a prototype vehicle with twin machine guns, based on the T-70 chassis. The M2 light tank, officially Light Tank, M2, was an American pre-World War II light tank which saw limited use during World War II.  The most common model, the M2A4, was equipped with one 37 mm M5 gun and five .30 cal M1919 Browning machine guns. The Marmon-Herrington Company, Inc. is an American manufacturer of axles and transfer cases for trucks and other vehicles.  Earlier, the company built military vehicles and some tanks during World War II, and until the late 1950s or early 1960s was a manufacturer of trucks and trolley buses.  Marmon-Herrington had a partnership with Ford Motor Company, producing trucks and other commercial vehicles, such as buses.  The company may be best known for its all-wheel-drive conversions to other truck maker's units, especially to Ford truck models.  Founded in 1931, Marmon-Herrington was based in Indianapolis, Indiana, with a plant in Windsor, Ontario, and remained in Indianapolis until 1963.  It is now based in Louisville, Kentucky. The Type 98 light tank Ke-Ni (九八式軽戦車 ケニ , Kyuhachi-shiki keisensha Ke-Ni ) or Type 98A Ke-Ni Ko (also known as Type 98 Chi-Ni light tank) was designed to replace the Imperial Japanese Army's Type 95 Ha-Go light tank, Japan's most numerous armored fighting vehicle during World War II.  Although designed before World War II, production did not start until 1942, with 104 being produced by the end of the war. The General Aircraft Limited GAL.  49 Hamilcar or Hamilcar Mark I was a large British military glider produced during the Second World War, which was designed to carry heavy cargo, such as the Tetrarch or M22 Locust light tank.  When the British airborne establishment was formed in 1940 by the order of Prime Minister Winston Churchill it was decided to develop a large glider which would be able to transport heavy equipment in support of airborne troops.  General Aircraft Limited were chosen in January 1941 to develop this glider, which they designated the GAL.  49 'Hamilcar'.  It was designed to transport a single light tank or two Universal Carriers.  A number of problems, which included vacillation by the War Office on the number of gliders that it wanted and poor management by GAL, led to delays in the production of the Hamilcar, and the first production glider was only assembled in mid-1943.  These problems were only partially solved, and production of the glider continued to be slow, hampered by difficulties in finding suitable locations to store and construct the Hamilcars once their parts were produced.  A total of 344 Hamilcars had been built when production ended in 1946. The M22 Locust, officially Light Tank (Airborne), M22, was an American-designed airborne light tank which was produced during World War II.  The Locust began development in 1941 after the British War Office requested that the American government design a purpose-built airborne light tank which could be transported by glider into battle to support British airborne forces.  The War Office had originally selected the Light Tank Mark VII Tetrarch light tank for use by the airborne forces, but it had not been designed with that exact purpose in mind so the War Office believed that a purpose-built tank would be required to replace it.  The United States Ordnance Department was asked to produce this replacement, which in turn selected Marmon-Herrington to design and build a prototype airborne tank in May 1941.  The prototype was designated the Light Tank T9 (Airborne), and was designed so that it could be transported underneath a Douglas C-54 Skymaster transport aircraft, although its dimensions also allowed it to fit inside a General Aircraft Hamilcar glider. The M3 Stuart, officially Light Tank, M3, is an American light tank of World War II.  It was supplied to British and Commonwealth forces under lend-lease prior to the entry of the U.S. into the war.  Thereafter, it was used by U.S. and Allied forces until the end of the war. Limited standard was a term used by the United States Army during World War II.  The term was applied to equipment, such as the M22 Locust, which met certain standards set by the United States Ordnance Department but did not reach the standards required by the Department for the equipment to be issued to combat units. The M41 Walker Bulldog was an American light tank developed for armed reconnaissance purposes.  It was produced by Cadillac between 1951 and 1954 and marketed successfully to the United States Army as a replacement for their ageing fleet of World War II vintage M24 Chaffee tanks.  Although engineered first and foremost as a reconnaissance asset, the M41's weight and armament also made it effective in the close infantry support role and for rapid airborne deployments.  Upon entering US service, all M41s received the designation "Little Bulldog" and subsequently, "Walker Bulldog" after the late General Walton Walker, who was killed in a jeep accident in 1950.  The M41 was the first postwar American light tank to see worldwide service, and was exported in considerable numbers by the US, particularly to Asia. The M24 Chaffee, officially Light Tank, M24, is an American light tank used during the later part of World War II and in postwar conflicts including the Korean War and, with the French, in the War in Algeria and the First Indochina War.  In British service it was given the service name Chaffee after the United States Army General Adna R. Chaffee, Jr., who helped develop the use of tanks in the United States armed forces.  While long removed from American and British service, it is still found in service as a light tank in third-world countries, along with other hardware from that era.
