T-16 Questions, some silly

The M113 and FV432 units do this, but are much more complex than these WW2 vintages boxes.

Silly questions are the ones that aren't asked. . . . .

FV432s are actually stunningly crude, and cruder than a Bren Carrier or a T16. They just have a diff and two huge contracting band brakes, anything other than the gentlest of veering on the road has the thing loose 50% of its speed or more and drop several gears of the auto box!!!

Right stick for right, left stick for left, both together for stop and push the top stick buttons to engage the parking pawls.

The Scottish vehicle licensing offices are refusing to road register them privately now as there is no separate parking brake mechanism, some people have come south of the border to do it!
