The US Army has been testing the concept of autoloaders in tanks since WW2, with a very wide variety of mechanism designs being tried. In this video, I cover some of the earliest designs, the T16 which was installed in the M5 light tank, and the T30E1, T37 Phase II, T41E1, T69 and T54E1. As a bonus, I think I use a number of photos not previously released. Later videos will take up from T54 and move through to today. Links to descriptions of the T16. https://worldoftanks.com/en/news/chieftain/37mm-gun-t16/ http://forum.worldoftanks.com/index.php?/topic/253562-37mm-gun-t16-part-ii/ Previous autoloader video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0x-8NheU1E Public facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/TheChieftainArmor Improved-Computer-And-Scout Car Fund: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/The_Chieftain Direct Paypal https://paypal.me/thechieftainshat
