WW1 British tanks115 viewsThe Mark I was a rhomboid vehicle with a low centre of gravity and long track length, able to negotiate broken ground and cross trenches.

WW1 British tanks120 viewsThe British Mark I-V series were tracked vehicles developed by the British Army during the First World War, and the world's first combat tanks. Born of the need to break the domination of trenches and machine guns over the battlefields of the Western Front, they were the first vehicles to be named "tank", a name chosen as an expedient to maintain secrecy and to disguise its true purpose. It was developed to be able to cross trenches, resist small-arms fire, travel over difficult terrainMay 19, 2013

The Vickers Independent119 viewsThe Independent A1E1 is a multi-turreted tank that was designed by the British armaments manufacturer Vickers between the First and Second World Wars. Although it only ever reached the prototype stage it influenced many other tank designs.
The A1E1 design can be seen as a possible influence on the Soviet T-100 and T-28 tanks, the German Neubaufahrzeug tanks, and the British Medium Mk III and Cruiser Mk I (triple turret) tank designs. The Soviet T-35 tank was based extremely closely on its plans and layout.May 19, 2013
