NEW TRACTOR
IS JUST LIKE
A JUGGERNAUT
WASHINGTON, June 22 — The kn
ot production of the army ordnance
bu-reau. a five-ton armo vd artillery
tractor foi hauling field guns, was de
monstrated here ivc« ntly, with Secre
tary Baker, Gen. March, chief of staff,
and many foreign officers present.
Hooked to a 4.7-inch field howitzer,
the machine ran over the rough, mud
dy ground of Kock Greek purk. which
recently balked the British tank Brit
tania. It went through ditches and
holes without a stop, cut do\> n tiees
and climbed over the fallen trunks dig
pinp the pun behind it; climbed a l">
depree hill, where the mud was a foot
deep as a result of recent rains, and
wound up the performance by rattling
down a paved avenue at a twelve-mile
gait without leaving a mark on the
pavinp.
The whole load, including the gun
and tractor, was approximately 20,000
pounds.
BAKKR KIDKS IX TRACTOR
Olficei*s who saw the demonstration
are convinced that no shell-torn terri
tory will stop the rapid movement of
American field guns when they are
sent to support infantry advances..More
over, the machines are shrapnel-proof
and can be disabled only by a direct
shell hit. Secretary Baker and Gen.
March rode in the tractor as it dragged
the pun about the broken ground. La
ter, they puffed up and down hill be
side it, obviously pleased with the ma
chine’s powers*
Besides an enormous saving in foi
age,every battery motorized saves hor
ses which are killed by the thousands
when going into action.
The perfection of the tractor, which
is a short easily handled machine on
caterpillar creepers, depended upon
turning out an engine that would func
tion efficiently at a sharp angle. The
engine used will work at a slant of 70
degrees. It can climb in and out of
shell holes and a special device furn
ishes a soft ground grip that can be
■ v operation on a road.
In the Lritish. French and Herman
mies only the guns above six-inch
i inotm izcd. Heretofore, it has not
e ,1 •ou ul p actieal to put tractors on
i lighter weapons, because-they
must leave loads
TO Kulir ALL LATTER IES
i is piouoMMi now to <Hjuip all Amer
a an batteries above three-inch light
n:* up to six-inch with tractors. Tliey
. e in production and the present
n nth will see a substantial number
i.elivered for shipment abroad. Mean
bile a smaller type is being worked
it for tht three-inch or “7ns,” with
j.iaspect that all American artill
, j be motoi -drawn eventually.
