WHEN THE GERMAN RADIO paid glowing
tribute to the General Sherman tank for
ace it was telling the truth.
You see, tank battles used to be stop-aod-go
affairs, because a tank's heavy Uuoon could be
aimed accurately onlj when th tnk wat t s
compUt itandttill
That was bad because every stop naturally
made the tank a juicy target for the enemy.
Then the Army Ordnance Department called
on American industry for the solution of this
problem. So the men of Westinghouse went into
huddle. And out of it came what has been
called one of the greatest military developments
f this War a tank gun stabilizer that permits
tncrtdiblj dccuratt firt uhilt ike lank is charging
'kead mt full speed ever rough ground I
And then, to button up the job, Westinghouse
went into production on these gun stabilizers so
fast and so thoroughly that almost before you
could say "El Alamein," they were being pro
duced in sufficient quantity to equip every
American tank!
No wonder the Germans thought well of the
General Sherman. And no wonder they consid
ered its gun stabilizer its outstanding feature.
For this one device has revolutionized the whole
combat technique of tank fighting!
For us, tank battles are no longer stop-and-go
affairs, with every stop offering the enemy a
"sitting pigeon." American tanks are now more
than 100 deadlier than ever before.
And the Westinghouse Research Laboratories,
which developed the device the Westinghouse
engineers, who perfected it and the men and
women of Westinghouse who make it in great
numbers are proud as Punch.
