  Review of Modelkrak:s 1/72 Lanchester WW1 British Armoured Car
The Lanchester cantilever rear springs - semi-elliptic leaf type - were duplicated and the front cantilever suspension was reinforced by shock absorbers-coil springs in vertical tubes, the tops of which were attached to the upper part of the main body frame structure.
The turret and fighting compartment of the Lanchester were almost identical to the turreted Rolls-Royce, as were the rear platform and stowage boxes (although the latter do not appear to have been fitted to some of the earliest Lanchesters).
Thirty-six Lanchester armoured cars were completed by the end of March 1915 and were used to equip three squadrons of the R.N.A.S. All of these squadrons were in France by May and one of them later served with the Belgian Army.

The British MP28 copy was given the general designation of Lanchester after George Lanchester who was charged with producing the weapon at the Sterling Armament Company, the same company that went on to produce the Sterling submachine gun that is presently the standard submachine gun of many nations.

The Lanchester had a well machined wooden butt and stock, the blow back mechanism was made of the finest materials, the breech block well machined and the magazine housing was made from solid brass.

Lanchester equations are differential equations describing the time dependence of attacker and defender strengths A and D as a function of time, with the function depending only on A and D.
Although the simple Lanchester equations with constant coefficients remain useful for demonstrating some features of combat (e.g., the value of concentrating effort and the associated penalty for breaking up one's forces), especially when it is desirable to do so analytically, they are a poor basis for describing most combat situations.
Even in this case, moving to and understanding the Lanchester representation was nontrivial and, in practice, was informed by theory and experimentation with the higher-resolution simulations.
