Hi Daniel,

 

Interesting set of images. The monochrome adds dramatic effect to the images. Most of these tanks were built by a company that is still very well known today - Caterpillar.

 

Thanks for sharing

Are you sure, I thought GM made them. We had a tank plant in Cleveland, Ohio.

Hi Gary,

 

According to Modern Marvels, the Army Ordnance Department approached Caterpillar to design a new air cooled tank in the late 1930's. They designed what was to become the M4 - some of these units were fitted with a unique Caterpillar Radial Diesel engine that could use virtually any fuel including heavy oil, diesel and gasoline. Over 50,000 units of the M4 were built during the war in various designations. As you rightly stated, they were built at a number of factories though out the US, including Caterpillar.
