Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The U.S. Army Transportation Corps’ new all-terrain dynamometer vehicle, now christened the Terrapin, is capable of a speed of 35 miles an hour on hard ground and can carry 5 tons of cargo on land and 21⁄2 tons on water. It travels on rubber pads over the tracks which cushion the vehicle against hard surfaces, greatly reducing noise and protecting highways from damage usually associated with crawler tractors. Engineers Herman P. Simon (left) and Carlo J. Roma are shown with Maj. Loren J. Pretty, Transportation Corps, discussing the Terrapin’s radically new treads.
