Produktbeschreibung
One of the most interesting armoured vehicles of the First World War was the Russian armoured car Jeffery, also known as Jeffery-Poplavko for its designer. Basing upon an US Jeffery truck chassis, it was the first all-terrain armoured car. It was designed in a similar purpose, as tanks of the western allies. The chassis was Jeffery Quad 4017, produced from 1913 by Thomas Jeffery Co, Kenosha, Wisconsin. All wheels were steering and fitted with brakes. With big longitudinal clearance, the car had excellent off-road capabilities. These trucks were bought by the US Army, and by other armies, among others: British, French, Canadian, Russian, Argentinian and Spanish. The basic variant was an all-terrain truck, but there were also special variants, like a mobile workshop, an ambulance and an ammunition carrier. Thanks to good and modern design, they were still produced after the War. The whole production reached above 41,000.
