Hi guys
can someone help me with finding info on the T1 tankette build by the US in 1928 (or 1927?) I got the info from the Tanks site and the Hunnicut book but I cant find any info on size or line drawings, I like to build this chute little thing together with the Ford 3 ton I'm working on
from Tanks

Had a quick peek through Smither's "A New Excalibur; The Development of the Tank 1909-1939" and not a whisper of it...

OK, I have finally dug out my copy of [b"Tanks of the World 1915-1945" by Peter Chamberlain and Chris Ellis.
It says
"This was an experimental vehicle built by Cunningham during 1928 to an Ordinance Department design for a One-Man Tank. It was also used to test a special type of flexible tack made of band saw steel. Each track consisted of two steel bands 4 1/2 inch wide, lined with commercial belting. These were clipped together by steel grousers that also acted a track guides. 1.5 tons; crew 1; 1 MG; armour 5-9mm; engine Ford Moedl A, 4 cylinder 42hp, water cooled; 19.5mph; 8ft8inches x 4ft 9inchesx5ft 1 1/2 inches."
This book is great for info on all the between the wars experimental and limited production tanks for most of the world.
