A3E1


History of origin
As part of experiments with various armored weapons, it was designed in 1925 at the Royal Ordnance Factory as an attempt at a light and cheap tank, using a conventional engine coming from a bus. Another tested element was cast belt links (they are cheaper as well as the engine). The shock absorbers came from the already used Vickers medium tank. Due to its two turrets at both ends of the chassis, the tank was one of the most unusual tanks in history. Plus, unsuccessful.


Armament
One 7.7 mm Vickers machine gun in the front and rear turrets.


Combat Service
Only as an experimental vehicle.


Further development of type
In 1926 it was rebuilt into "Carrier, Machine Gun Number 1".
