Motors in War The Armoured Car and Supporting Motor Units
In wartime the motor adapts for military use as armoured cars and trains did. Armoured cars patrol with top protection, quick fire guns, and speeds of 30 to 40 mph. They travel over ditches and soft ground with portable steel bridges and can start from interior without exposing the driver. Motor ambulances save lives with careful stretched beds and onboard washing and medical gear. Dispatch riders and field vehicles multitask as ambulances, fire extenders, field guns, or transport wagons.
