QUAD
GUN TRACTOR FORD (Ford-F-GT)
Le ministère de la guerre britannique, demanda
à Guy Motor de développer un tracteur d'artillerie pour
les canons de 18 et 25 pdr. Cette firme délivra en 1938 un curieux
véhicule que la troupe ne tarda pas à appeler "fourmi".
Cet engin avait une bonne clairance pour augmenter ses aptitudes tout
terrain et son empattement court permettait d'augmenter son braquage.
Le pilote était installé très en avant pour faciliter
sa vision et l'arrière du véhicule était biseauté
pour faciliter la manoeuvre du canon. Son équipage était
composé de 6 hommes. La production de masse de ce véhicule
fut confié à Ford (mais aussi à GM) qui en réalisèrent
un grand nombre.
The ministry for the British
war, required of Guy Motor to develop an artillery tractor for the guns
of 18 and 25 pdr. This firm delivered in 1938 a curious vehicle which
the troop baptized quickly "ant". This machine had a good clearance
to increase its aptitudes in cross-country and its short wheelbase made
it possible to increase its steering. The pilot was installed very in
front to facilitate his vision and the back of the vehicle was bevelled
to facilitate the operation of the gun. Its crew was composed of 6 men.
The mass production of this vehicle was entrusted to Ford (but also with
GM) which carried out a great number of it.
