extracted text (Extract Text): THE miniature caterpillar tank shown
in the accompanying illustration is
not an instrument of war, nor is it in-
tended to become one. It was made at
the request of the Red Cross organization
of Stockton, California, by a local
manufacturer of caterpillar tractors, to be
used as an attraction in a society circus,
which netted nearly $10,000.

The exterior of the tank was patterned
after the English tanks used on the battle-
field. A motorcycle engine was put in
to supply the power for the motion of the
track chains. It was so arranged that
eitherside could
be disconnect-
ed or worked
independently,
thus permit-
ting sharp
