Out of curiosity, was there something about the trick suspension system that necessitated a unique track design (on the T95)? I've never seen that particular design on any other types of vehicle.

Apart from looks, what might have made it particularly suitable for this application?

STOP THAT DOUG !!! Rolling Eyes

You are gonna get me digging into the T95 again, and everytime I do that I get an instant headache. Sad

Oh, BTW,.....The T95 is listed as having T114 track. Mr. Green

I remember looking at that track and thinking that it looked like a 'dead' track vs. the 'live' track we are used to. I wonder if the live track caused problems with the kneeling suspension? The 'dead' track is a lot more tolerant of loose track tension, which seems likely when the tank 'sits' down on the suspension. Spitballin' here...

Hi Chuck!

Warning! Dangerous thread drift here....

What are the major factors in determining whether a tracked vehicle uses track support rollers or not? Presumably weight of the track itself is a consideration. Are most supported tracks "live"? If so, why?

Okay, since you insist

(let me take a couple of Excedrin first.....ahhhh, thats better)

As best as I can tell, the T95 only experimented with variable height suspension with the 'T95 test rig' variant which was late in the developmental program.

Most of the T95 pilots had 'regular' suspension using the T114 track. I always thought of this style of track suspension as being 'christie suspension'.

I've got diagrams of the regular suspension on the T95, but can't seem to find the diagrams of the variable height suspension of the 'Test rig'

I do believe that the T95 had a number of different developmental types of track, but I need to dig around to find exactly what they looked like.

More to follow
Regards
Don

The T114 track was for "Tanks T95, T96, T110 and other vehicles having similar suspensions" according to OCM 36316 (20 SEP 56) that assigned the nomenclature. T114 track was double pin with rubber bushings, hence live. It is listed as being lighter than the T108 and T109 which were for the same vehicles. They were live tracks as well.

T108 - Replaceable rubber chevron grousers
T109 - Replaceable steel grousers
T114 - Integral rubber chevron grousers
