Summary

A Schneider tank moves over rough terrain and then into a forest, crushing a few trees. At the end of the journey the soldiers climb and cheer on the tank. The film is followed by a sequence in which the Undersecretary of State for Inventions, Jules-Louis Breton, poses for the camera in one of the laboratories located in Meudon.
