ELI
Gertie is listed in the Army
manual as an M-41 "light" tank.
Unofficially, her class is called
the "Walker Bulldog" after the
late commander of the Eighth
Army in Korea, Maj. Gen. Wal
ton Walker.
Actually, she's not very light
at 25-plus tons. Not small, either,
with a width of about 10 feet
and a length of about 25.
Pride and Joy
This particular Walker Bull
dog is the pride and joy of the
96th Reconnaisance Company of
the 96th Division, an Army or
ganized reserve outfit that draws
its membership from Utah, Ida
ho, Montana and Arizona.
Gertie is the only light tank
now assigned to the 96th Recon
Company. But when the mem
bers of the outfit, along with
other divisional units, went on
summer maneuvers at Califor
nia's Hunter-Liggett military
reservation, they had 12 Walkers
to train with.
A ride in the M-41 is really
something. You wouldn't believe
what this armor-plated Cadillac
it's made by the Cadillac divi
sion of General Motors can and
will do.
Gertie's maintenance and oper
ation comes under the immediate
wing, along with 213 other vehi
cles, of Henry G. Price, motor
transportation officer for the
Army's Utah Military District.
Price, a former captain in the
famed 2nd Armored Division,
said they never had anything
like Gertie in Europe in World
War II but he wishes they had.
Oregon at Controls
For a test spin around the
sagebrush-covered rifle range at
Ft. Douglas, on the foothills just
east of Salt Lake City, Sgt Ben
nett Twitchell of Albany, Ore.,
was at the controls.
Twitchell, a veteran of 12
years of Army service in two
wars and a tank driver and
maintenance expert for the past
seven years, took it easy along
the paved road from the Ft.
Douglas motor pool parking lot
to the practice range a mere
30 to 35 miles an hour, which in
the tank seemed faster than 500
MPH in a jet airplane.
Out of the range, he revved
up the 500-horsepower air-cooled
ei'gine, put the automatic trans
mission control into high range
and away the tank dusted.
Big sagebrush? Nothing to
them, just smash them down.
Ditches? Bounce over them!
Trenches? Cross them, they're
nothing.
Bunkers? Gertie can climb a
60-degree slope, so it's easy to
crunch up one side, lurch and
down the other.
Tank Twists Around
Turn around? Twitchell twisted
the handlebar-type control. One
rubber-treaded track went one
direction, the other tha reverse.
And the tank twisted around in
its own length as though it was
on a pivot.
'The long-barreled 76-millimeter
cannon, wih a range of sev
eral miles, is mounted on a me
chanism that represents a large
part of the $250,000 cost of this
most modern of U. S. tanks.
A gyroscopic control miracu
lously can keep the barrel point
ed at a given target, regardless
of the manipulations and bounc
ing of the tank body.
. Either the gunner or the tank
commander can aim the power
ful gun, compute, the range and
other firing factors, and shoot
the gun. Power controls quickly
swivel the turret in either direc
tion and elevate or depress the
muzzle.
Side Arms Supplied
A .50-caliber machine gun can
be fired from the same control
mechanism as the big gun. In
addition, the four-man crew is
liberally supplied with side arms
and smaller weapons, such as
carbines and sub-machine guns.
Riding in Gertie is noisy, but
it's not as bumpy as one might
expect. And, contrary to earlier
model tanks, it's comparatively
dust-free, particularly when the
hatches are closed and operation
is controlled through periscopes.
A ride in the tank convinced
this correspondent that Gertie
would be ideal for use in Salt
Lake City's rush-hour traffic
when he wants to get home in a
hurry.
NEW FACES
Stanford, Calif. W.R) Coach
Chuck -Taylor says there will be
new plays and "a lot of new
faces" when his Stanford Indians
line up to meet the Trojans of
Southern California Saturday.
. , The Indians, who lost the serv
ices of third-string halfback Bill
Burget with injures yesterday,
will definitely have four men on
the injury list for the game, and
two others may not see action.
BEARS RUN
Berkeley, Calif. U.R) The
University of California Bears
concentrated on running plays
and defense yesterday as they
prepared for Saturday's contest
with the Washington Huskies.
. Coach Lynn Pappy Waldorf
said the squad suffered two mi
nor injuries, but they did not
affect the 37-man squad that will
make the trip to Seattle. .
