Many secrets were pointed out

the other types of tanks used
by the u. S. Army-the IL ton
light and the 18-ton medium

things I found in the Ms.
The tank l rode was one of
l3 in the First Armored Divis-
ion which came off the produc-
ton line less than three weeks

daily during the maneuvers.
AS I squeezed through a mar
row portfolio into my seat,
found beside me a 80 nm. gun
and . 80 chlibre machine gun,
which I could aim and fire au-
tomaticallyj using complicated
levers, switches and buttons to
manipulate the revolving turret.
To my right gunner manned

the tank commander. Capt. Ben
G.. Crosby, reserve officer FROM

position rubber prevented my
head from banging against steel
walls, and the white walls of
the turret made the 30-ton mon
ster seem much roomier and
cooler inside than the IA or 18-
ton tanks. 1t has a precise niche
for each of its seven.man crew
Of gunners, leaders, radio oper-

In battle the only vision out
ward is through prismic sights,
new to tanks, to keep out bull
let splinters that can fly through
sight openings in older tanks.
