Item

Using a square sectionsof canvas, soldiers can make an amphibian of their quarter-ton reconnaissance car, known as a “peep.” In a demonstration at Fort Benning, Ga., ypen of the Fourth Motorized Division ficated one of the autos in 8 inches of water, pushed it across the Stream, and drove it up the opposite bank. They spread the canvas in water near the bank and, after driving the “peep” on it, they pulled up the corners and edges and fastened them as in tying a package. Water in the canvas was then pumped out until the canvas “hull” displaced enough water to float the vehicle.
