	Light Tank M2
		Light Tank M2A3 at the Patton Museum of Cavalry and Armor.
		However, visible differences include the raised idler wheel, seven pistol ports ringing the turret compared with the M3's three, and the recoil mechanism of the 37mm gun extended from the gun shield and was therefore protected by armor.
		This tank was in England in 1942 or 1943 and was part of a Lend-Lease shipment.

	US Tank Classes (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.netlab.uky.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Note: Most tank classifications during this period were based on contemporary tank developments conducted during and immediately after WW I while the theory of tank usage was still in fluctuation.
		Light Tanks, on the other hand, usually carry only the tank crew into combat even though the vehicle mission may be to support infantry in the assault.
		Tanks classed as "Heavy" were so categorized by individual countries, which were few, and only one, the Soviet T-10M, is generally recognized as the last "heavy" built after 1950.

	Tank classification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Light tanks tended to be smaller, faster, and lighter vehicles, and cheaper to produce.
		Light tanks were quite common at the start of World War II, being the main element of German, Polish and French formations in the Polish and French campaigns, but during the war were relegated to reconnaissance roles because of the increasing firepower of tanks and anti-tank weapons.
		In short, super heavy tanks were merely an extension of World War I ideals regarding heavy assault guns placed on self-propelled carriages, emulating the railway guns and heavy artillery of their time and with the rise of missile and rockets, extremely long-range guns became obsolete.

	4TP - Polish light tank prototype
		That is why in September 1932 the 4-ton light tank, the amphibian tank and a tractor of Carden-Loyd were demonstrated in Poland.
		The fitting of a complete 7TP tank's 2-men turret showed impossible, as was the fitting of any other newly-designed 2-men turret, due to their diameter and the necessity of rebuilding the tank.
		The tanks were to be painted in a standard camouflage scheme of three colours: greyish sand and dark brown (sepia) over brown-green (base color).

	M5A1 LIGHT TANK "STUART"
		During the 1930's the United States Army did not consider tanks to be a relevant weapon on the battlefield.
		The inherent nature of the light tank implies light armor which is an obvious deficiency for a combat vehicle.
		Light tank also implies light firepower which, in the form of a 37mm main gun, was inferior to other combat vehicles at the time in the European theater.

	Tank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tanks are also at a disadvantage in wooded terrain and urban environments, which cancel the advantages of the tank's long-range firepower, limit the crew's ability to detect potential threats, and can even limit the turret's ability to traverse.
		Tanks were first used in the First World War to break the deadlock of the trenches, and they evolved gradually to assume the role of cavalry on the battlefield.
		Since an immobilised tank is an easy target for mortars, artillery, and the specialised tank hunting units of the enemy forces, speed is normally kept to a minimum, and every opportunity is used to move tanks on wheeled tank transporters and by railway instead of under their own power.

	ONTOS, the world's biggest shot gun (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.netlab.uky.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Ontos was a relatively light weight tracked armoured fighting vehicle that was designed in the early 1950's to destroy the main battle tanks of this era using the firepower from its six 106mm recoilless rifles.
		Since tanks were not fielded by the NVA, then there was little use for the small anti-tank known as the Ontos also known as a "pig".
		The rubber bladder gas tank was mounted in the front of the vehicle directly behind the glacis plate.

	M22 AIRBORNE LIGHT TANK "LOCUST"
		The M22 "Locust" light tank was one of the smallest tanks used by the Allies in Europe during WWII.
		Because of increasing interest in an air delivered light tank by experienced field commanders and the British, the Ordinance Department formulated a design concept requiring the development of a light tank that would aid airborne units during critical mission phases and be sufficiently light in weight to be delivered by airborne means.
		Twelve of the tanks were landed using the giant Hamilcar glider during the Rhine crossing on March 24, 1945.

	Aquarium Plants \| My views, Steve Hampton, on how to succeed with aquarium plants (via CobWeb/3.1 ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Low light low tech planted tanks are ideally suited for beginners or those hobbyists who would rather not spend lots of time maintaining their tanks.
		Growth is slow and for the most part when the tank is "balanced" the aquascape remains static for long periods of time, unlike the High light high tech tank that changes from week to week with lots of nutrient additions and pruning of rapid growth.
		Low tech tanks are generally meant as tanks with low light and no CO2 injection.

		You didn't say what you had in the tank now, so you may already know this but...
		It might be fun to get a few pieces of good quality live rock and just see what comes of it.
		I know they aren't corals but big feather dusters really add something to small lowlight tanks.

		With all of the dark gray elements coming into circulation over the past couple of years, I decided to use the color for a new tank model.
		A POV-Ray rendering of the "kit" version of my light tank model generated for the L-Draw booth at the Kidvention at Legoland California, July 2000.
		The general disposition of my tank lent itself well to a Soviet T-34 look-alike, as seen here by this dressed up pair suppressing a revolt in the Hundred Acre Wood.

		On examination, there is a splash mark and a weld repair on the Loader's side of the turret.
		In the early 80's it was re-imported back to a company in Georgia as scrap iron with 80 other tanks.
		This is an auxiliary engine, easy on fuel and quieter than the main engines when the tank is sitting stationary.
