Description
This photo shows a prototype of a wheel-cum-track tank built in 1927 on the basis of the Wolseley-Vickers wheel-cum-track car, which was built in 1926 on the basis of standard Wolseley car. In the photo you can see a fairly common for the post-war time wheel-cum-track idea of combining wheel and caterpillar drives with the ability to switch from one to another, obviously for maximum mobility both on roads and off-road. Visually and conceptually looks like the KH-50 tank, developed in the first half of the 1920s.
It can be assumed that the British wanted to create some kind of intermediate link between armored cars and tanks, which can take advantage of fast movement on ordinary roads and go to a crawler drive to overcome the WWI-style battlefield (what was expected in the future war).
