Note the turret mounted on top the hull which held twin
Besa machine guns. The firing mechanisms of these guns had to be fitted
with stops to prevent accidental firing at the hull fittings or crew hatches !
The gun barrel rather than being mounted on the
more traditional trunions, protruded through a large ball mount.
The suspension consisted of four bogies on each side each of the hull. Each bogie
had two pairs of wheels each pair being linked to a transverse torsion
bar.
