SOMUA Coder (pokladač mosta)

In 1926 the specified development program on the new tanks rátal with the team that the new machines can prekonať trenches wide 2.5 subway, ťažké tanks up to 4.5-foot trench. Real however new tanks these demanding format requirements nespĺňali, preto bola in 1937 poverená company Société Coder de Marseille vývojom špecializovaného ženijného prostriedku (mostného pokladača). Malo sa jednať on the deck dlhú 8 metrov, possibly takej konštrukcie, which would allow tankom prekonať anti-tank obstacles in the path of the so-called dračie teeth, ktoré boli rozmiestnené after all dĺžke Maginotovej line. Zariadenie on the laying of the bridge deck using hydraulics. Základom the project was modified platform polopásového delostreleckého ťahača Somua MCL 5 with výkonnejším 6-valcovým motorom, ktorý niesol označenie MSCL 5. The prototype was the army supplied in 9/1939, which it subsequently submitted testom. Principle of laying was that the vehicle with loaded mostom nacúvalo to prekážke, triggered a foothold nesenú in its parts, which increased the stability of the vehicle and subsequently the help of hydraulically controlled kužeľovitého baran, on ktorom bola the deck uchytená, sa bridge laid over the prekážku. The bridge was wide, 2.2 m, dlhý 8 m (the real sa gave prekonať obstacle wide 6-7 metrov) and nosnosť bola 20 ton. Skúšky zahŕňali 100 prejazdov machines the company Somua and 60 prejazdov machines B 1. Kabína and motor priestor bol pancierovaný plechmi hrúbky 8-10 mm. Hodnotenie vehicle wasn't priaznivé. She blamed the sa to him, that the pri okládke bridge bolo vehicle viditeľné nepriateľskými pozorovateľmi, ballistic protection against strelám bola small and celkovo our concept výraznejšie benefits than štandardné skladacie bridges pokladané by hand. 22.5.1940 bol project cancelled. Prototype padol into the rcoa German jednotiek, another the fate of the prototype is to me unknown. Vehicle nieslo registračnú mark M 11 269.
