Text and/or other creative content from Three-wheeled steam tank was copied or moved into Steam Wheel Tank on July 7, 2016. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

Armament

There is no way that the armament could have been a Browning M2HB .50 caliber machinegun, as neither the .50 caliber cartridge nor the Browning .50 caliber machinegun was adopted until 1921. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.127.154.20 (talk) 13:29, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Confusion

The Steam Tank, the Steam Wheel Tank, and the 150 Ton Field Monitor were three different things. Have corrected. I suspect that the original article relied heavily on American Military Vehicles of World War One by Albert Mroz, arguably the worst book on the subject ever written. http://63528.activeboard.com/t44712478/the-amazing-mr-mroz/ Hengistmate (talk) 12:10, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

A merger is being proposed that would merge content from Three-wheeled steam tank into this article. Please comment. NewYorkActuary (talk) 16:17, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proposer comments. This is a 're-listing' of a proposal originally made back in 2012, for which no discussion was held. There is enough ambiguity here that the attention of subject-matter experts will be helpful. In particular, one of the articles suggests that the two page titles were simply different names for the same thing. However, some of the content suggests that the three-wheeled machine was a special case of a larger class of steam wheeled tanks. A proper merge will require resolution of this question.

Corrections on January 12th, 2017.

This article contained major flaws. It was badly researched, relying on a single source that contained flaws. Those have now been corrected, and additional reliable sources have been presented. To anticipate possible objections: the 75mm howitzer shown in the picture is not connected with the Steam Wheel Tank. It is probably from the earlier Gas-electric Tank - the photo was taken at an exhibition at Aberdeen in the 1920s, and the howitzer happened to be in the shot.
