I was wondering if anybody had information on the various World War One land torpedo designs? I included pictures of the Torpiller-Terrestre, Wickersham, and Simm's Land Torpedos.
I found a source mentioning a tracked variant of the Simm's War Car, but the source has been unreliable in some aspects, and I was wondering if this had any chance of actually being an idea. I have attached the image given I found. Thanks!

I remember reading that though the St. Chamond turned out to perform poorly while trying to cross trenches, when it was on flatter ground this tank type did fine. Was that the case?
