    The hand signals given by the Tank Commander and repeated by the Sponson Gunner are very important in controlling the movement of the tank units of the era. Even if all tanks in the unit had voice radio (I'm not sure if they did at this point), the reliability of the sets - when mounted in a shaking, bumping vehicle - was very low.

    A powerful looking photo of an almost worthless tank that was obsolete before it was ever built. It's saving grace was that these M-3's could be thrown together quickly to save the British in North Africa from being overrun by German tin cans. The M-3's did provide some useful training for our tank crews until the M-4 Shermans came along, and the chassis was adapted as a platform for the 105mm SP howitzer.
