Tests of the 1A tank on difficult terrain in La Seyne

Members of the technical section of self-propelled artillery of the Directorate of Inventions attend the tests of the prototype tank FCD 1A in difficult terrain in La Seyne-sur-Mer in 1917.
Jules-Louis Breton visits the internal fittings of the tank, which then passes through various obstacles: trenches, logs, shell holes, etc. The machine also makes a U-turn.
