		The tank must boast a minimum speed of four miles per hour, be able to climb a five foot high obstacle, successfully span a five foot trench, and - critically - be immune to the effects of small-arms fire.
		Tanks were even deployed during the notorious, almost swampy, conditions of the Third Battle of Ypres (more commonly known as 'Passchendaele').
		On 4 July 1918 the tank was used in a manner that helped to fashion the method in which it was deployed in future battles.

	Tank Medium Mark A (Whippet)
		During the meeting on October 3, 1916, William Tritton, the man who designed the Mark I tank, proposed a cavalry-type tank which could exploit the breach in the front achieved by heavy tanks, such as performing the role of cavalry.
		The fuel tank was moved from the rear of the vehicle to the front, and placed between the horns which required additional armor.
		He dug an entrance to the rear door of the tank which were embedded in the side of the shell hole and enabled the crew to leave the burning vehicle.

		Tank manufacture was started in the latter part of 1933 and the early part of 1934 with a very light model of 6 1/2 tons.
		The Mark IV chassis was produced during 1943 in greatly increased numbers for use both as a tank and an assault gun, but principally as an assault gun in 1944.
		Tank assembly plants are difficult to move due to the special type of structures required and due to the heavy machinery employed and the special forges and heat-treatment facilities required.

	Mark VIII Tank - Additional Information (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The Mark VIII tank was sometimes referred to as the Liberty Tank due to its 12-cylinder Liberty engine.
		The tank, a joint venture of the United States and Great Britain, was based on the British Mark series of tanks.
		The Mark VIII was designed to be an "anti-machinegun" weapon capable of traversing a battlefield scarred by trenches, shell holes, and debris while clearing a path for the infantry to follow.

	Gun Carrier Mk 1 Pictures
		The idea of a gun-carrying tank was put forward by Major Gregg of the Metropolitan Carriage, Wagon and Finance Co., who were the builders of the greater proportion of Tanks Mark I produced.
		The Gun Carrier, Mark I, as it became designated, used the main mechanical components of Tank, Mark I, including the steering tail wheels (which were later discarded).
		Overall tracks, as in the heavy tanks, were not provided for in the Gun Carrier and the fact that the tracks went through tunnels under the front crew cabs and the rear compartment led to difficulties with mud collecting at these points.

		Bernstein's tank was within reach of the German trenches when a shell hit the cab, decapitated the driver, and exploded in the body of the tank.
		The tank was hit twice, and all the crew were wounded, but Birkett went on fighting grimly until his ammunition was exhausted and he himself was badly wounded in the leg.

	Developing the Tank
		Highly vulnerable to mechanical breakdowns, fourteen tanks never made it to the starting point and as the day progressed most of the tanks were crippled due to mechanical failures, unsuitable ground and artillery fire.
		The Mark III was equipped with thicker armor to counter Germany’s development of armor-piercing bullets.
		The British continued building heavy tanks as well, including the Mark V, Mark VI, Mark VII and a joint U.S.-British project on the Mark VIII or “International.” The U.S. accepted an order to build 1,200 Renault FT-17 light tanks, and the Ford Motor Company agreed to develop a two-man light tank for the U.S. Army.

		I do agree Mark that this idea is a great one for setting up tanks in general.

	Mark I tank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The British Mark I was the first tank, entering service in World War I, born of the need to break the domination of trenches and machine guns over the battlefields of the Western Front.
		It also functioned as a main battle tank (MBT), and it was not until the Merkava that again a APC was made that was also a MBT capable of front-line combat.
		The Mark IX was a troop carrier or infantry supply vehicle - among the first tracked Armoured personnel carrier not counting experiments with the lengthened Mk V's.

	T.W. "Iron Mark" Battle Tank
		While the appearance of the tank is of crude iron plates that have been riveted together, the tank is actually covered with high tech alloy and composite armors plate.
		The old tank designs had speeds of less than ten miles per hour and the Iron Mark is much faster although it is slower than new designs like the Iron Hammer main battle tank.
		The tank is protected by a magical force field than can be used up to three times per day and is very useful to absorb damage before the armor of the tank takes damage.

		The petrol tanks were on top of them, so the fuel ducts had to run along the whole length of the vehicle, pumping fuel to a secondary tank that fed the engine by gravity.
		Medium Mark IA: fifty were built of a slightly improved type with 8 mm armour at the vertical surfaces, a split diver's hood, a bevelled back plate of the turret to facilitate anit-aircraft fire and improved brow and chin pads for the gunners.
		Medium Mark IA: the original tank* turrets were rebuilt and upgraded by removing the Hotchkiss mountings, installing a co-axial Vickers machine gun, compensating its weight by a lead counterweight at the back of the turret and putting the Bishops's Mitre on top of it, a traversable cupola.

	The Liberty Tank
		These tanks were known by several monikers: Anglo-American Tank, The International Tank, The Mark VIII Heavy Tank, and the Liberty Tank.
		So, as the rest of the world became fascinated by the heavy tank in the 1930's and into WW2, the USA moved away from the concept and developed the medium tank.
		The medium tank, though not perfect, was considered the best balance of protection, mobility, and firepower by engineers and soldiers in the United States.

		While an improved design for the new tanks was being worked out permission was obtained for another 100 of the existing design to be built as an interim type to keep the factories occupied.
		Wireless tanks were used at Cambrai to send back messages, the first time wireless was used in action from tanks.

		Therefore the Tiger Tank is about the same size as the Jeep and the Kubelwagen.

		Neither is it, strictly speaking, a Mark I, but rather, a hybrid: a Mark II with tail wheels.
		A new aperture for the circular hatch characteristic of the Mark I was drilled.
		The driver's cab on the Mark I is wider than that on the Mark II, so I have cut off the original outer hinge brackets and added another set cut from a spare front plate.

	British Mark I Tank 1916 (New Vanguard, 100)
		Considering that aircraft and submarines both existed prior to the First World War and their wartime developments were evolutionary in nature, the development of the British Mark I tank may be one of the most rapid weapons breakthroughs in military history.
		The color plates include: the Lincoln Machine; Little Willie; Mother; camouflage schemes on Mark Is in 1916; a cutaway of a Mark I Male; a Mark I in Palestine; the Mark II and III variants; and the supply tank and wireless radio tank variants.
		Virtually all of these tanks were non-operational by 1918, but these 250 early tanks paved the way for their sturdier successors.

		The Germans captured and used tanks so IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) was as important then as it is today.
		This design did not have the trench-crossing ability of the British tanks and was built in much smaller numbers.

		These and other forbidden light tanks were tried out with Russian connivance at a tank testing centre established in 1926 at Kazan on the river Kama, deep inside Russia, which was to the mutual benefit of both parties as the Russians were completely inexperienced in this field.
		In the interest of speedy construction and for the education of industry a light tank was the obvious answer.
		The Germans bought a British Carden-Loyd Mark VI chassis which was sold commercially, announcing as being for use as a carrier for a 20mm anti-aircraft gun.
