The Tank Mark VIII also known as the Liberty or The International was an Anglo-American tank design of the First World War intended to overcome the limitations of the earlier British designs and be a collaborative effort to equip France, the UK and the US with a single heavy tank design. The Panther was a compromise. While having essentially the same engine as the Tiger I, it had more efficient frontal hull armour,[6] better gun penetration, was lighter and faster, and could traverse rough terrain better than the Tiger I. The trade-off was weaker side armour, which made it vulnerable to flanking fire. The Panther proved to be effective in open country and long range engagements, but did not provide enough high explosive firepower against infantry.[7] Benua, Sofia (2015). Достижения в СССР.

The Joint Systems Manufacturing Center, also known as the Lima Army Tank Plant ( LATP) is a tank plant located in Lima, Ohio. It is a government-owned, contractor-operated facility currently operated by General Dynamics Land Systems. Workers at the plant are represented by UAW Local 2075.

The Flying Elephant was a proposed super-heavy tank, planned but never built by the British during World War I. Having a reliable supply of rainwater is serious business. We take this responsibility very seriously, and since 1984 have manufactured a quality range of rainwater tanks designed for harsh Australian conditions. However, that doesn’t mean we can’t have some fun in the process. Here are some facts about our company, and answers to some interesting questions we get: Dasch, Jean M.; Gorsich, D.J. (2012). The TARDEC Story. Sixty-five Years of Innovation 1946-2010.

Local councils in many areas have imposed and implemented restrictions on the consumption and use of water. This has been attributed to long and often unpredictable periods of drought. It was once primarily rural areas of Australia which depended on rainwater tanks, but tanks are now used extensively in most rural and urban areas. A tank allows you to harvest rain and use it in accordance with your needs, allowing you to be more flexible with your water usage. The development process was re-started by the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Tokyo Machinery Division on the 120 ton version under the designation "Mi-To" (for Mitsubishi -Tokyo). Later it was given the official designation of the "O-I tank" (オイ車, "オ" in Japanese this means "large" and "イ" means "one"). The tank was again to be equipped with a Type 92 105 mm cannon for its main gun.[2] Its two smaller front hull turrets were designed to be "offset slightly left from the mid-point".[3] One turret was designed to carry a Type 1 47 mm tank gun as secondary armament. The other turret was to carry a 7.7 mm machine gun. The rear hull was designed to have two more smaller turrets each with a 7.7 mm machine gun.[2] The model has all major support and sprues removed. Some parts may need gluing, but all major parts have been removed. There may be some small artefacts to clean up as expected with 3D prints. Railway cars and other civilian production amounted to two-thirds of the company's overall output in 2008. [19] The Schneider CA 1 (originally named the Schneider CA) was the first French tank, developed during the First World War.

The Tiger I is a German heavy tank of World War II deployed from 1942 in Africa and Europe, usually in independent heavy tank battalions. Its final designation was Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf. E often shortened to Tiger. The Tiger I gave the Wehrmacht its first armoured fighting vehicle that mounted the 8.8 cm KwK 36 gun (not to be confused with the 8.8 cm Flak 36). 1,347 were built between August 1942 and August 1944.[9] After August 1944, production of the Tiger I was phased out in favour of the Tiger II. The Tank Factory supplies a wide range of quality tanks, and we’re sure to have the perfect plastic tank for your home or business. One of the most popular types of poly tanks in Australia (particularly in rural areas although these are also used as urban tanks in city areas) are round water tanks (also known as cylindrical tanks). Round tanks take the form of a cylinder and are used both in rural and urban areas (and fitted outside the house). Our range of round water tanks come in a large choice of available colours, so you can have a tank that blends well with the colour scheme of your house or property. Duraplas tanks are fully compliant to ‘Product Certification to AZ/NZ 4766:2006’ and are manufactured under a quality assured process, certified to ISO9001:2015 standards.

O-I was the name given to a proposed series of Japanese super-heavy tanks, to be used in the Pacific Theater. The vehicle was to be very heavy, and carry 11 crewmen. The exact development status of the O-I is unknown.

The portion of the property not sold to the city remains an active Army facility with many agencies present. The installation is managed by Installation Management Command (IMCOM) and hosts the headquarters of the United States Army CCDC Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC), formerly United States Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC), [11] and it hosts the United States Army TACOM Life Cycle Management Command. TACOM continues to function at the location, and experienced a major building boom in the 2010s. [12] Tenant units [ edit ] The Panzer I was a light tank produced in Germany in the 1930s. The name is short for the German Panzerkampfwagen I ("armored fighting vehicle mark I"), abbreviated PzKpfw I. The tank's official German ordnance inventory designation was SdKfz 101 ("special purpose vehicle 101").[2] Land Use Distribution". Ludb.clui.org. Archived from the original on June 6, 2011 .
