This video comes from "The Big Picture" Television Program Series created by the U.S. Army. The original description reads: Regularly each year, the American public looks forward to the first showings of the new models by the country's automobile manufacturers. Not as often, perhaps, but awaited more eagerly by the Armed Forces is the appearance of a brand new combat vehicle. "The Big Picture" tells the inside story, from the idea to the fighting weapons, of the birth of a tank. You can also watch this video in in our main National Archives online catalog.
This primary source comes from the Records of the Office of the Chief Signal Officer.
