The British Mk.IV tank.
Try to imagine being inside of that thing, rolling across No Man's Land.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.
Slava Ukraini!

I grew up in Louisville, KY....and Ft. Knox nearby is the home of armor. They have a fabulous tank museum, including one of those, possibly in running condition. I was there coupla times in the 50's and 60's and once in the 80's maybe. They have Army and Marine Corps tanks, German, Brit and Russian (and maybe more) tanks, AA tanks, tank destroyers.
The last time I was there, someone was working on one of these Brit WWI tanks and the side door was open. The reason it's so damn tall is that its engine is that tall...a ll-oo-nnn-gg stroke engine more akin to steam. Each cylinder had a separate water jacket
Contemporary petrol engines often had separate water jackets, such as the Liberty.The tank's 16 litre, 125=150 hp engine was designed by W. O. Bentley, with input from Harry Ricardo
