Thanks Tony,
Yes I am that Steve M, I love tracked cargo carriers of all sorts. I'm not expecting vast reams of info on the tracked truck, just nice to see it was mentioned. I have Mike Cecil's book and a few photos from the AWM website and am considering ordering the film footage of testing. I spent about three hours measuring up and photographing the tracked truck when I was last at the museum... and I still missed a few things. Luckily I've managed to synthesise a number of dimensions from my photos.

I've passed on Nigel's book site to the powers-that-be... I'm pretty confident my Chrissie prez' isn't going to be a pair of socks

Steve.

Thanks everyone for the great response to volume 2 of my book, it makes the hours of research worthwhile particularly as this book project grew from the need I had for details of my carrier.
The biase has had to be towards the English, Canadian and American carriers as I was unable to get over to Australia to undertake research on their carriers. The Australian and New Zealand pattern carriers I had to deal with from the English perspective as I don't believe one should write a factual book if one hasn't visited the country these vehicles were manufactured in.
I hope you find some new information about the Tracked Truck Steve, even if its a different view of a particular part.
I would also be interested Tony in the error of the engine number details as I would like to amend all errors in my last volume including the one on page 66 and 67!!

Beltring was great with a really successful book launch and Living History Display, as always it was great to meet everyone.

I will be puting out an official request for details and photos of every carrier owner soon for inclusion in a worldwide register. If someone else has started a register of carriers that exist today then please ask him/her to get in touch.

Thanks again everyone and I continue to read with great interest your carrier observations and discoveries.

Nigel
