Taranov: "A general specification was laid down and as a first step towards
design the committee obtained a Holt tractor from Austria: this
American-designed caterpillar tractor (built under licence in
Budapest) was at that time the only suitable tracklaying vehicle
available to Germany for experiment. It is interesting to note here
that the Holt had also inspired Colonel Swinton's landship
proposals put before the War Office in Britain and also formed the
basis for the French heavy tanks.
After trials of the Holt tractor, a lengthened version of the chassis was designed by Josef Vollmer, powered by two Daimler engines of 100 h.p. each (the original proposals for one 80-100-h.p. engine being recognized as inadequate) and, fitted with a wooden mockup of an armoured hull, was first demonstrated in the Spring of 1917.
