True, it is intresting to look over some of the might have beens, take for example, the M-1922 Medium Tank, this was an attempt at designing a more flexible suspension, the track was 2.5-inch steel cable that supported a variety of iron brackets...fitted to each bracket was the latest track shoe...each was carved from the finest oak!
Needless to say, track life was short and the M-1922 rests in the Ordnance Museum at Aberdeen Proving Grounds.
