	Self-propelled artillery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In effect the carrier replaced the use of a separate horse team or internal combustion engine powered artillery tractor and allowed a new way for the gun to be used.
		At the outbreak of World War II virtually all artillery was still being moved around by artillery tractors or horses.
		Modern SP artillery is highly digitized with the ability to self survey firing positions using systems such as GPS and inertial navigation systems.

	Artillery tractor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Artillery tractor is a kind of tractor, also referred to as a gun tractor, a vehicle used to tow artillery pieces of varying weights.
		There are two main types of artillery tractors, depending on the type of traction.
		Tracked tractors run on caterpillar track, and in some cases are built on a modified tank chassis with the superstructure replaced with a compartment for the gun crew or ammunition.

	Tractor
		A tractor is a vehicle intended for drawing, towing or pulling some other vehicle or object which cannot propel itself.
		The most common use of the word is for a tractor designed for use on farms, typically a simple open vehicle with very large driving wheels and one seat, used for pulling agricultural machinery over rough ground, ploughing, harrowing and similar tasks.
		Most farm tractors have a means to transfer the engine's power to another machine such as a baler or reaper.

	Citroën-Kegresse halftracks in Polish service
		Its body was similar to the tractor, with crew seats behind the driver's cab, but in the back of the platform it had a telephone equipment: drums with a wire, jibs for wire-laying etc. These cars' task was to establish and maintain the cable field communication in motorized artillery.
		Probably a part of artillery tractors and telephone cars were rebuilt to this variant in the late thirties as well.
		In the thirties a light motorized artillery battery (four guns 75mm) had 17 Citroëns-Kegresse: 1 staff P19 for the battery HQ, 1 staff P17 for the fire officer, 5 telephone cars P17, 8 tractors P17 (4 for the guns and 4 for the caissons) and 2 trucks P17 for a repair patrol.

	50 YEARS OF THE REGIMENT OF ARTILLERY - 1
		It is to be noticed that the British shibboleth that Artillery is a technical arms and the coloured 'natives' are not quite capable of being good gunners was shattered (and artillery was never only the domain of the white man).
		One spin-off of this was that when the Pakistan Artillery started expanding and more guns were made available, there was a shortage of gunner officers and officers from other arms had to be inducted in the Royal Pakistan Artillery (as it was called at the time of partition) to make up the deficiencies.
		The artillery units were required to take part in Kashmir operations and for good part of the year in 1947, 48 and 49 remained on border duty.

		The tractor has a small skull painted on a door, indicating the 1st battery, called "The death's battery", taking traditions from the heavy combats of the 4th battery of the 1st Mountain Arty Rgt in Polish-Soviet war.
		The late series tractors appeared in two variants: with a short platform, for the heavy artillery, and with a long platform, for the light artillery.
		According to an organization of 1938, it consisted of a light battalion (2 batteries of the 75mm guns and a battery of the 100mm howitzers), and a heavy battalion (2 bateries of the 120mm guns).

		The C7P tractor was designed by the tractor department chief of BS PZInz, Witold Jakusz in 1933/34.
		On June 12th of 1934, the C7P tractor was approved as the army's main vehicle of this type.
		It was planned to use the C7P as an artillery tractor for heavy artillery in artillery units, as a specialized vehicle for various purposes (including towing of light trains and destruction of tracks with the use of a special hook) and as a recovery and tank transport vehicle in armored units.

		7 - (German 8 ton semi-tracked artillery tractor) The half-tracked tractor climbs to the crest of the hill amongst whistling bullets, towing the heavy 36 Flak gun.
		The catchword of this type of warfare was "mobility" in that the artillery had to be ready at a moments notice to move where needed.
		The construction of the tractor was based partly on modification of the large, heavy frame from the front part of conventional truck-tractors, with added track propulsion in three groups of doubled wheels on each side at the back (KMm 11).

	ANTI-TANK
		Whereas field artillery organisations were stable from 1940 onwards, the situation for anti-tank regiments was similar to armoured divisions; organisations evolved throughout the war.
		It was based on the Medium Artillery Tractor (Matador) chassis, and had an armoured minimal body and cab with a fully rotating armoured turret mounted on what would have been the centre of the cargo platform.
		Later it became usual for artillery anti-tank troops to be allocated to infantry battalions, with either the artillery troop commander or the battalion anti-tank platoon commander being the overall anti-tank advisor for the battalion.

	Artillery Equipment page
		The artillery piece was basically the same as was used during the First World War, but with some modifications, such as pneumatic tyres and split-trail design to allow it to be towed behind a tractor unit, such a lorry or the Quad tractor and limber.
		It was originally designed for use as pack artillery, with the barrel being of a two-piece 'screw-jack' assembly held together by a junction nut in the middle.
		The CDSW Bofors Tractor was used in the North African campaigns both by 1st and 8th Army and in North West.

		The first step is the assembly of the tractor's lower chassis sidewalls to the transmission housing.
		I jumped ahead to the assembly of the tractor's bed, leaving the track for later.
		This operation is not too difficult; I did have to clean out the holes in the section of the bed where the frame is attached in order to allow the pin (part 32) to clear both sides of the frame.

	Unarmored Half-Tracks
		One of the earliest builders was the Holt Tractor Company, which marketed large commercial tractors and also made a track laying adapter which was to be attached to an ordinary 4x2 truck of about three tons' capacity, totally replacing the driving rear axle.
		The Holt Tractor Company was a pioneer in the development of industrial and tracked tractors, and the Army evaluated their 15-ton model during the early months of 1917.
		Referred to as a caisson body, it was designed to carry artillery ammunition, and to follow the big guns wherever they were to be emplaced.

	Romanian Armour in World War Two
		Another 400 such tractors were promised with arms shipments throughout 1943 and 1944 (all or at least most of these being received) which were used for similar duties with Romanian artillery formations for the duration of the war.
		One hundred RSO artillery tractors were included in German arms shipments provided to Romanian divisions (10th & 19th Infantry Divisions, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, & 4th Mountain Divisions, and 6th & 9th Cavalry Divisions) stationed in the Kuban and the Crimea in early 1943; details on their subsequent service are lacking.
		A number of these Soviet armoured artillery tractors were captured by Romanian forces during the initial stages of the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, followed by a few more in the first half of 1942, with thirty-six appearing on Army service rosters by November 1942.

		The 25-pounder was used in Field Regiments (in both towed, and later self-propelled configuration) in Canada and overseas, and was a popular weapon replaced primarily due to the desire to standardize ammunition throughout NATO.
		The development of field artillery proceeded slowly, progressing from the belief that the desired role of artillery in a major conflict would be suppression - forcing the enemy under cover to keep their heads down during friendly attacks, and on the defensive to destroy advancing enemy infantry or drive them to ground.
		The gun was normally towed, with its limber, behind a 4x4 Field Artillery Tractor (FAT, also called a "Quad", short for "quadraped" and a reference to the 4-wheel drive capabilities of the tractor).

	Review of MGM:s 1/72 Generatorzugwagen M.16 / B-Zug Austro-Hungarian Artillery Tractor
		When Skoda started working on their new generation of super-heavy guns, the 24cm M.16, the 38cm M.16 and the 42cm M.16, it was soon obvious that these new artillery pieces needed a new type of transportation, if they ever would be as mobile as their famous predecessor, the 30.5cm M.11.
		The fuel filter had to be changed empitied every 2-3 hours, and every 10 km the valve gear had to be lubricated, etc. Still, it was seen as the perhaps most modern tractor of it's day, and they were admired whenever they appeared.
		MGM is the big hope of Braille Scale Military Modelling today, and this again shows his steady improvement in standards, and courage in choice.
