A NUFFIELD TANK
OFFICIAL'S STATEMENT
Sir Miles Thomas, vice-chairman of Morris Ltd., speaking at the annual general meeting of the company said that the Cromwell tank used with such success in France and Belgium was the "son" of the tank which Lord Nuffield demonstrated at his own expense in 1938 states an English exchange.
Lord at personal cost of between £10 ? 000 and £20 j OOO developed a tank with an ingenious suspension system incorporating independent springing which gave it the ability to traverse rough ground at high speed. It also gave a much steadier platform for gunfire. Higher speed and the improved fire accuracy were a great, advance on tanks existing at that time.
