Question Sand Chains

Quote:
when the CMP's was sold from Canada to Norway after the war
Rolf,

I am very interested to know your source of information regarding a norwegian purchase of CMP's after the war. I have information that Norway received military equipment including vehicles (Dodge D3/4APT and Diamond T 975/975A) from Canada through MDAP/MAP after the formation of NATO. So far I have not found information that we received or purchased CMP's from Canada, information about your source(s) would be most welcome



The chains looks interesting, I have never seen such type of construction of the transverse chain before, only plain or studded transverse chains to help offroad traction or for winter use. But sand/desert tyres have a shallow tread to avoid digging when driving on sand. With these chains the tyres will start to dig into the ground. If they are intended for desert use they must be to improve traction on hard surfaces : :
