Several years ago, I gave a talk at the New York Military Affairs Symposium. It was a good talk, but it was necessary to re-record it. There's no Q&A, but the presentation has been updated a bit with more recent work and references. The original, with the Q&A session at the end, is still available here. https://www.c-span.org/video/?433629-2/design-history-m4-sherman-tank-world-war-ii Other things referenced in this video.
