Hi Everyone,

I'm a Meccano modeller and I'm looking for schematic drawings of Little Willie, the protoype tank currently residing at Bovington Tank Museum. If anyone can help, it sure would beat a trip there in person!

Most of all, I'm interested to see how the crawler sections are attached to the main structure. I've looked at photos but none show this clearly at all.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks!

FR499223A - GB126070A - GB126076A - GB126079A - GB126352A - GB126357A
- GB126378A - GB126671A - GB127657A - GB127855A."

But where do I find these?

Hello,

It was a test . . .  ! You can found it on the "European Patent Office " :

http://ep.espacenet.com/?locale=en_EP

More than 1 500 000 patents in pdf since begining of 20th century . . .
It's better to work on :
         "Worldwide" - Quick search - words in the title or abstract -
You can used "1916 tritton" - "1917 tritton" - "1917 tritton", or technical word like "endless chain tracks" . . . .

Of course it's also possible to found informations on other tanks or artillerie systems. . . . .
For exemple the patents for Renault FT is the numbers FR503364A and GB128655A (for French and English patents).
It's interresting to take the differents national patents because you can, sometimes, found differences.

Bonne chasse - michel

Get hold of a copy of The Landships of Lincoln by Rishard Pullen there is some good scale drawings of the tanks produced there.
