thanks Keith, Interesting vehicle, I rather like the 'chain mail'......agree with Rich it looks cumbersome....
but LP was important in 'the day'.

Wikipedia is vast, but so open to optimistic renderings.

thats well heeled vehicle Hanno...Browning 1917 & Browning .50....

In Hanno's reference to an earlier discussion on the Australian Scout Car S1 there are a couple YouTube links there which are now broken, since I had to re-edit and re-upload my videos. Here is the new link to that first video in which there are a couple minutes of footage of Bob Schutt's restored S1 starting from 1:50 through to 3:54 in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20iu-ZH2j7o
