Merkava I/II

The Merkava Israels first domestic tank after the British denied them access to the Chieftain.

It was officially called the interphone box. According to R. P. Hunnicutt’s book Patton a history of the American Main Battle Tank volume 1 all of the M48 and M60 variants had 4 stations and an external box for the “interphone” system on the vehicle. The boxes were easy to damage. In Korea we used them more within the company to establish a wire communication system between the tanks in defensive positions then with the infantry. Since the infantry we worked with were in the same radio net as we were most communication was over the radio. This meant no one had to expose themself to commicate.

Hyok Kim. My unit did not have problems of track freezing to the ground. We did have to run the tanks most of the time in the coldest part of the winter but that was to keep the batteries charged. The cold was hard on the batteries. We took some of the rubber pads out of the track to get better traction in the ice.

‘’ Hyok Kim. My unit did not have problems of track freezing to the ground. We did have to run the tanks most of the time in the coldest part of the winter but that was to keep the batteries charged.’’ Well, at least it kept you warm. I read that British tanks had problem with the tracks freezing in Korean winter during the Korean War. I also read that the British had to engaging gears every half an hour to prevent them from freezing in one position. ‘’The cold was hard on the batteries.’’ Why Hyundai uses batteries twice as big for cars manufactured in Russia today. ‘’We took some of the rubber pads out of the track to get better traction in the ice.’’ Hey, maybe that interleaved tracks the Germans used during WW2 had another advantage, other than simply rubber shortages, and better distribution of the weight.
