Readless Vehicles for Off Road Travel by Suspended Design
British engineers revisit off road transport with suspended suspension to reduce weight on tracks. A three ton lorry yields forty five ton miles per gallon on primed roads while tanks on cross country work achieve seven ton miles per gallon. The designer proposes rope and spring suspension to evenly distribute weight, allow passage over two railway sleepers with no chassis movement, protect bearings from sand and mud, and a steering method to cut excess power on curves. He claims the machine could average ten miles per hour off road with twenty one ton miles per gallon.
