Progress in design of caterpillar vehicles by Ordnance Department during war is recorded and lines are indicated along which further improvement may be effected. Opinion is expressed that greater speed ranges for heavy-duty purposes can be obtained by using light track shoes and very small amount of unsprung weight, embodying use of considerable quantity of rubber or other cushioning medium in connection with rolling members and track.
