Thanks Archy. The Canadians also produced tanks based on the American M3 Lee chassis
Entering the war without a tank industry, 16 Vickers Mk VI, 12 Carden-Loyd carriers, little hope of future help from England, and 219 WW1 era junked U.S. tanks, Canada started her own tank production. The British Tank Mission, in collaboration with the Canadian General Staff, designed a modified U.S. M3 which would become the Ram. The Ram used standard M3 mechanical components, with a Canadian designed hull and cast turret. The first 50 would mount the 40mm 2 pounder cannon and were designated Mark 1. The remainder were called Mark 2 and had the 57mm 6 pounder cannon. Several AA conversions were proposed for RAM tanks. Many of these conversions were found wanting. The famous AA adaption called Skink, often thought to be a RAM conversion was actually a Grizzley.

Sounds like the time I managed to mire a 290-M wheeled-tractor up to it's cab in the mud. Took all day and two dozers to get it out. Not a fun day cuz guess who had to get into the mud to dig out the tow hooks and them hook up the cables? Never did get to see a scissors bridge wjile I was in but then I didn't get to hang around armor much. :-(

Strange mechanical contraptions that look harmless enough until they get to land.
*chuckle*
Heck, I can easily imagine robotic tanks slugging it out in future wars.
