在给装甲兵军官1—76高级训练班作报告时,装甲学校校长Donn A. Starry少将评论说“如果坦克越野速度在可达到的范围内持续增加,我们将不得不在稳定火炮的同时,也稳定车内乘员。”这种评论有点挖苦的意思並且引起了一阵轻快的笑声。这种笑声代表了这个当时是新的装甲兵军官高级训练班态度。但是,这位少将並没有轻率地对待这个坦克设计课题。 In a report to Armored Corps Combat Officer 1-76 Advanced Training Course, Major General Donn A. Starry, armored school commander, commented: “If tank cross-country speed continues to increase within reach, we will have to stabilize the artillery while stabilizing the vehicle Inside crew. ”The commentary was a bit of a sarcastic and sparking a brisk laugh. This laughter represented the senior training class, then a new armored officer. However, the major did not disregard the tank design project.
