Topic: Christie suspension

	[No title]
		In spite of the significance of his contributions, J. Walter Christie probably remains the most obscure and ambiguous figure to be found in the history of the development of tanks.
		The "Christie Suspension" developed for the M1928 was employed in the M1931 and all subsequent Christie tanks.
		Christie's introduction of both was rather fortuitous, for it was essentially a by-product of his aim to design tanks so that they could operate without tracks as well as with them.

	Suspension (vehicle) - Information at Halfvalue.com
		Suspension is the term given to the system of springs, shock absorbers and linkages that connects a vehicle to its wheels.
		In the 1930s, the Christie suspension was developed, which allowed the use of coil springs inside a vehicle's armoured hull, by redirecting the direction of travel using a bell crank.
		Horstmann suspension was a variation which used a combination of bell crank and exterior coil springs, in use from the 1930s to the 1990s.

	Christie Suspension
		Christie advocated the use of lightweight tanks with long range and high speed, designed to penetrate enemy lines and attack their infrastructure and logistics capabilities.
		The major problem he faced was the limited vertical space for springs to move in, for a 25 cm movement you might need 50 or 75 cm of vertical space for the spring and strut, and his small designs simply did not have a place to put them.
		The real Christie suspension was used only on a few designs, notably the Soviet BT tank and T-34 series, the British Cruiser tank s, including the A-13, Covenanter, Crusader and finally Comet, as well as some experimental Italian designs.

	John Reginald Halliday Christie Summary
		While neither Christie's guilt nor Evans' innocence in these particular crimes (as opposed to Christie's other murders) have ever been conclusively proven, the case sparked massive public outrage, contributed to the suspension of the death penalty in Britain in 1964 (it was later abolished outright), and remains controversial to this day.
		Christie then convinced Evans, whom Kennedy describes as a gullible man with an IQ of 70, to stay with a relative in Wales and leave Geraldine in his care.
		Christie was fired from his job from the Post Office Savings Bank, which he had held for the previous four years, due to the disclosure of his 1921 offence at the trial of Evans.

	Christie suspension
		The major problem he faced was the limited vertical space for springs to move in: for a 25 cm movement it might need 50 or 75 cm of vertical space for the spring and strut, and his small designs did not have room for them.
		Another feature of Christie's designs was the 'convertible' drive: the ability to remove the tracks for road travel, allowing for higher speeds and better range, and saving wear and tear on the fragile caterpillar track systems of the 1930s.
		Because large road wheels and "slack track" are characteristic of the Christie suspension, other designs with these features are sometimes misidentified as such.

		Christie's career was tainted after he was found guilty of using the performance enhancing drug nandralone whilst in semi-retirement.
		In fact, Christie's urine also contained metabolites of a banned substance, however he was not stripped of his silver medal.Interestingly, at the same games, Christie's time of 20.09 that placed him 4th in the 200m, would have been enough to secure gold at Sydney 12 years later.
		Christie's famous claim that he started races on the "B of the Bang" inspired a spectacular sculpture of the same name, officially unveiled by Christie in Manchester in 2004.

	Suspension - Wikicars
		Suspension systems serve a dual purpose - contributing to the car's handling and braking for good active safety and driving pleasure, and keeping vehicle occupants comfortable and reasonably well isolated from road noise, bumps, and vibrations.
		These are usually small, except that the suspension is related to whether the brakes and differential(s) are sprung.
		All suspensions use springs to absorb impacts and dampers (or shock absorbers) to control spring motions.

	Caterpillar track - Definition, explanation
		Suspension design is a major area of research; early designs offered only a few inches of travel using springs, whereas modern hydropneumatic systems allow several feet of travel and include shock absorbers.
		One, which is a single element of the whole track suspension system called Christie suspension uses oversized road wheels and the track simply lies on top of the wheels.
		The other system, sometimes called a Vickers suspension arrangement, uses smaller return rollers to hold the track straight from the idler to the driving wheel, leading to a sideways D shape.

		Oh, I forgot, it was mentioned somewhere that the Israeli forces preferred the torsion bar suspension of the M48 in the Sinai and the Horstman suspension of the Centurion (also the HVSS of the Super Sherman) in the Golan heights.
		Anybody who put a Christie suspension on a heavier AFV had to beef it up; anybody who increased weight on a Volute Spring suspension had to beef it up also.

		Christie didn't design the suspension for the T-34 but he did for the BT series of t Russian tanks and they continued using it for the T-34 series of tanks.
		AFAIK the T-34 was nased on a type of christie suspension,i think the proof reader for ambroses book must have mucked up there or as said her ambrose himself,but also ambroses pegasus book has quite a few errors in it as well.
		While Christie's suspension could be used on light tank it was too weak for medium tanks, which had to use different types.

		In December, 1941, the War Ordnance Department issued a requirement for the design of a fast tank destroyer which used Christie suspension, the Wright Continental R-975 engine and a 37mm gun.
		After observing events in North Africa, it was decided that the 37 mm gun was inadequate and the design changed to use a 57 mm gun instead.
		The Christie suspension was also dropped and replaced with a torsion bar suspension.

		Christie, who heard the result while filming the BBC children's TV show Record Breakers, said: "I was always confident of this outcome, having maintained from the outset that I had done nothing wrong.
		However, that is unlikely to end the matter as Christie now joins the lengthening list of sports stars who have been cleared of taking the banned drug but who still face having their cases reviewed by their world governing bodies.

		Compared to the vertical volute spring suspension which it replaced on the US M4 Sherman, HVSS allowed wider tracks to be used, increased wheel travel, and eased maintenance on the suspension units.
		This suspension used wheels attached to a suspension arm which was sprung with a rubber spring.
		This suspension involved mounting the road wheels to a bogie in pairs on arms and pivoting them against a vertically mounted volute spring, which was protected from damage by the bogie frame.
