Thanks, updated

Yes, production ran from 1936-40 so those listed as 1935 should be updated instead.

There are two as 1936, are these correct? (one was set by Lateef, who usually knows his stuff :D)

I don't see anything else wrong, but I don't know the years by heart.

I assume then that the changes other than those you quoted are OK to apply then?

Sorry about that. I'm used to people being stubborn and having to provide a whole bunch of evidence to convince them.


No it isn't. I just asked him to change this on the previous page of this thread. The proper name is Renault FT. Renault didn't use numbers in their model designations (except for two specific exceptions which I mentioned).




This is also wrong. You're confusing the manufacturer's name, Panhard 178, with the French army's name, AMD 35. In the case of the "AMD 178B" specifically you're probably taking it from the "world of tanks" game? I'm guessing, because that's the first google result for that phrase. Don't ever do that. All of the "history" from that game is BS.
The vehicle in those last two images isn't even an AMD 35 B, it's a one-off prototype that didn't receive a name. https://tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww2-france-panhard-178-renault-47mm-gun-turret/ "Panhard 178 47mm" is the best description since you have to call it something.

I was a little lost between all there references
I renamed the vehicles to add the S, and added the old make to the list of automatic fixes so in case the name without S is searched on entered, it is automatically updated.

The only argument for no S on the link you posted I see is someone from 2007 quoting "encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com", which was a copy of the old wikipedia page and has since been deleted and changed to Vickers-Armstrongs with S. The other person quoted various documents which show it is Vickers-Armstrongs, as do all of the original equipment data plates.

A British historian I know, Craig Moore, as said in the past that the company merger documents in the Kew archive say Vickers-Armstrongs. He's hard to get ahold of though so I don't know if I can get a copy of that to prove it.

These two manuals are from 1936 and 1933 respectively

It does not seem so simple, seeing the discussion on the Wikipedia page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Vickers-Armstrongs
At some point the company name changed then, it seems, originally it has no final S then?
