The Unique Christie Wheel-Cum-Track Suspension
The BT tank series, an abbreviation for fast-moving tank, excelled with the unique suspension concept by American designer J. Walter Christie. This system allowed the tanks to drive solely on their large road wheels after removing the tracks, enabling them to reach incredible speeds of over seventy kilometers per hour on roads. The gradual evolution from the early BT-2 type with a small turret, through the improved BT-5 with a 45mm gun, to the ultimate BT-7 type with sloped armor, laid the direct design foundations for the development of the famous T-34 medium tank.
