Hello all, I would like to know if anyone here can help me with understanding the suspension on the Schneider CA series tanks. The rear part makes some sense to me, but the front section leaves me baffled. Where are the springs? what supports the forward section? I have watched as many videos as I can but I'm still trying to sort out where it pivots from & how the system takes up slack when the idler moves with the front half.
Is there a better book on this tank than the "gun power 29" book?
I'm at the other end of Australia at the moment but will be home tomorrow - I have some drawings of the CA1 suspension which should answer your questions. If your email address isn't in your profile would you PM it to me and I 'll send you what I have on the CA1 suspension.
Regards,
Charlie
