OT-ish: BIG spoked wheels

http://data.4channel.org/k/src/1102096359302.jpg http://data.4channel.org/k/src/1102113226513.gif Called a Tsar Tank. Must have been a mother to true up. -- B.B. --I am not a goat! thegoat4 at airmail dot net http://web2.airmail.net/thegoat4/ |

Must have been a mother to true up. Can you say "huge unsprung weight"? How about "Low tolerance for traversing a sharp grade"? (This latter characteristic was shared with most WWI-era armor, though.) In some respects, it was a novel (if quintessentially Russian) approach to building a powered gun carriage that could run across slightly broken and possibly soft terrain, but I have to think that there was more than a little nostalgianeering involved; note the resemblance to a horse-drawn cannon carriage. I wonder if the beast survives in a museum somewhere? -- Typoes are a feature, not a bug. Some gardening required to reply via email. Words processed in a facility that contains nuts. |

I wonder if the beast survives in a museum somewhere? Dear Werehatrack, Alas, only two were made, and neither survives. The one in B.B.'s first picture is actually a wreck without its rear wheels: http://www.nemo.nu/ibisportal/5pansa.../tsartank1.htm It reminds me not so much of a gun-carriage, but of the mother of all high-wheelers.
