Another American tank design, Any one have any information??
Permalink Closed

Hello Guys


  I was going through some information I have on early American Armor, And I came accross this picture of a Improvised American Tank so called the Special 182 built on a Holt Chassis. Improvised by a wood frame and cloth covered body with a turret


Does any body know any thing more,?? who built it(should I say designed it) and was it ever built, or was it just another design that fell by the way side.


All the Best


Tim R.

Tim,


I believe that some engineers at Holts factory at Stockton  tried out a number of permutations of hull designs on one tractor both on the drawing board and using wood and canvas mock ups before arriving at the Scat the Kaiser  version. This could be one of them.
