French Citroen-Kegresse P17 1931
The Citroen-Kegresse P17, it was most assuredly the state-of-the art half- track at the time, and it certainly warranted a close look by the Ordnance Corps. The P17 and its predecessors had been highly successful in service with the French military, and had seen thousands of hours of desert service. A relative lightweight at 4,300 pounds, it could pull 3,500 pounds cross-country and carry close to 1,000 pounds. During tests it pulled a 75mm field gun, and the 27 horsepower four-cylinder, 100 cubic inch Citroen engine allowed a speed of 18 miles per hour. It was 167.5 inches long, 62.5 inches wide and 78.5 inches high. The steering was quite advanced in that along with normal steer of the front wheels, a mechanism also activated the brakes on the respective track. The vehicle was not adopted by the U.S. Military
