NEW ARMY TRAILER FACILITATES TROOP TRANSPORTATION
WITH THE ARMY IN WASHINGTON--Newly developed troop transport trailer, made possible through a new revolutionary type of arc-ticulated axle, will be tried by the 7th Division in the Washington war maneuvers this week. The axle, which permits each wheel of the trailer to follow the same track as the front wheel of the truck, allows movement of larger units of troops through difficult terrain, not now accessible to standard trailers. Pictured above are 75 men of the 32nd Infantry riding in one 2 1/2 ton truck and trailer. 8/23/41 (Bur TFB) HS:a
