FORDSON TRACTORS WITH ADAPTERS—FULL-CRAWLER ON THE LEFT, HADFIELD- PENFIELD ON THE RIGHT BATTERY REEL MODIFIED TO CARRY EXTRA REELS
CURRENT FIELD ARTILLERY NOTES The Board is still working on this equipment proposition and no report has as yet been forwarded. Water and Ration Cart.—The Board has on hand a test to modify the present water and ration carts, making one two-axle vehicle take the place of the two one-axle vehicles now issued. It will be noted that the artillery hitch is used to draw the vehicle and that the water tank is placed crosswise on the carriage. In connection with this arrangement, the limber of the kitchen is to be used to take the cooked rations from the kitchen to the battery. This test is also incomplete, no report having been forwarded as yet. Battery Reel.—A study of the vehicles now used to carry wire, signal and observation equipment indicates that the light wagon is very unsatisfactory. A modification of the battery reel which will enable it to carry more wire is shown in the illustration. The use of two of these reels in the battery in place of one reel and one light wagon is part of this test. Again the work is uncompleted and no report has as yet been forwarded. Motorcycles.—Two Indian motorcycles have been under test for the past year. All the work done with these and other motorcycles indicate that while this type has its usefulness for messenger service, it is of little value for column supervision or reconnaissance. The test is uncompleted. Fifty-gallon Gas Drum.—On one five-ton Holt tractor, the gas tank was removed and a fifty-gallon gas drum put in its place, the idea being, that, instead of refilling the gas tank when empty, the drum would be removed and a new one substituted. The idea proved to have several disabilities: the removal and replacement of the gas lines was difficult, especially at night, the weight of the filled drum made it an unwieldy and difficult load to handle. The amount of gas in the tank had to be carefully watched and the fuel line connections manipulated at just the right moment, due to the fact that first gravity then vacuum feed must be employed to empty the tank. This, while not a serious defect, was a great nuisance. The report is being written. It will be unfavorable. Motor Equipment—General.—The test of Fordsons with the Full- Crawler and Hadfield-Penfield adapters has been re-commenced and they have been placed on a "continuous run" program. During the equipment hike of the light battery, these tractors pulled single-axle loads over the same ground as that covered by the horse-drawn battery with comparatively little difficulty. A T-35, geared high and with self-contained reels driven from the drive sprocket, is being tried out as a wire-laying tractor. To date the mechanism driving the reels has not proven satisfactory. The test is incomplete. A Chevrolet cross-country car of the same type as the Fords 551
