TT:120 14T Class B Tank (1927)

The ways in which oil tanks were secured to a wagon chassis evolved throughout the 20th century. From 1927, a standard design emerged which held the tank in place using end stanchions braced against each other by horizontal steel rods and by diagonal steel rods fixed to the chassis near its centre-line.

Prototype photographs can be found on Paul Bartlett's website.
