Description: | model, top
The original working model of a tank prototype constructed in June 1915 by Lt Macfie of the Royal Naval Air Service Armoured Car Force at the engineering works of Messrs Nesfield and Mackenzie in Ealing, London.
Frequent quarrels between Macfie and Nesfield led to the abandonment of further development work based on their design. After the War, Mr Nesfield gave a demonstration with the model, which was powered by electric motors, before the Royal Commission on Awards to Inventors. The Royal Commission awarded Mr Nesfield and Lt Macfie £500 each for their part in developing the tank. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Nesfield & Mackenzie | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
