Low-slung and fitted with four diminutive wheels, a novel vehicle undergoing tested by U. S. Army officials was designed to serve as a mobile machine-gun carrier to enable gunners to fire continuously during an advance or retreat, 1938.
Manned by two soldiers, the curious machine is powered by a gasoline motor geared to the rear wheels. While one man operates the gun, the other controls the speed and direction of the vehicle by means of special pedals operated by his feet. At the same time, the steersman assists the gunner by feeding racks of cartridges into the gun.
