Summary

The High Commission of the Directorate of Inventions is considering the different ways of transporting shells in difficult terrain and under various weather conditions. This ranges from manual transport to animal traction (dogs, horses), as well as the use of several types of manual traction devices such as the Porteur Lachat. A tracked transport vehicle is also tested in the field.
