'It has been the practice to load tanks into
trucks and transport them to the field of action,
with the speed limited to four or five miles
an hour. To organize such a motor transport
for these fighting engines in large numbers
means a huge expense difficulty in getting the
use of the trucks needed by other branches OF
the service and the use Of men, motors and
supplies for the sole purpose of carrying tanks
from point to point. The present vehicle, how
ever will go anywhere under its own power
at the speed of a railroad train.
I'm the past cavalry has been used for
mobility and shock. A cavalry charge is made
at the speed of seven miles hour, so it is
easy to see that a battalion of tanks will out
run, outshoot and outshock any cavalry that
ever fought.
Tanks in force can swing around into the
enemys rear, destroy all communications ami
supplies and utterly demoralize the front lines.

"In any national emergency the country
already equipped with such tanks would have
tremendous advantage, because if no plant
was available it would take from one and
half to two years to get tanks in the field. and
by that time the nation unprepared would be
crushed.

into period of development in which airplanes
and tanks will do all the heavy fighting and
the infantry will only go into action to mop

speed is prime factor in this work. as it
enables the tank to keep going and lodging

OUCH is the movement Of the wheel on the
Christie tank, except that coled spring
holds the wheel and tends to pull it back to its
normal position on level ground Thus the
wheels will ride up and down over the roughest
terrain with great freedom while the motor

Another innovation is the fact that the

Vents in the body enable the motor to suck in

men in the event that it becomes necessary to
charge through gas screen and maneuver in
