There are two types of tank-testers the men who put new---machines through their paces, and the men who pass on repaired tanks, Their routine 'I'is somewhat similar, except that ve- paired tanks are given specific tests for repaired parts. We performed control-testing antics while hurtling around the track, and our tank responded almost too well for my liking. There are two main levers, left and right, among the tank con- trols. When one is drawn back, the clutch of the engine is out, and you are in the equivalent of neutral with a car. When the control is drawn farther back, it applies the brake to the track on the same side as that control. You turn the tank by putting. the brake on one_track and allowing the opposite track to continue running. This slews it around on whichever side is braked. When a car is running downhill and you take out the clutch, your speed increases. So, when you take out the clutch of a tank going down hill, un- less the brake application follows rapidly, the particular track concern- ed will race. Instead of a braked track turning vou the way -you want to go, a racing track slews you in the op- posite direction. We spent nearly fifteen minutes making certain that the braking 6f this particular tank followed swiftly enough on the neutral position to give perfect manoeuveér- ability.
