Col Wilhide Details New Tanks and Delays
Col Glenn C. Wilhide, arsenal commander, said the M 47 medium tank has been built for eight months without final approval due to turret control faults. He noted pending tests in California may fix the issue, and that production proceeded as a calculated risk. The M 47, intended for Korea, replaces the outmoded M 46 in combat. In development, a hydraulic turret system aims for rapid targeting and accuracy.
