Towing Artillery

Early automobiles for the Army were often using tires that looked like a bicycle tire, that's because bicycle tire companies knew how to make rubber tires, which had more traction than wooden or steel tires.

I simulated the spokes by just using a clear piece of plastic for the spokes.  I added a trailer hitch to the back.

A horse might travel for ten or more hours per day but a car could travel 20 more more.  At even 4 or 5 miles per hour that could get you 100 miles down the road.  Very impressive for the early 1900s.

Even from the earliest times motor vehicles were used for scouting, carrying machine guns, small cannons or towing artillery.  Here a US 3 inch M1902 gun is towed by the motor car.
