Boirault machine

The Boirault machine (French: ''Appareil Boirault''), was an early French experimental landship, designed in 1914 and built in early 1915. It has been considered as "another interesting ancestor of the tank",〔''Harper's pictorial library of the world war'' by Albert Bushnell Hart, 1920, p.153〕
and described as a "rhomboid-shaped skeleton tank without armour, with single overhead track".〔''Encyclopedia of tanks'' by Duncan Crow, Robert Joseph Icks, 1975 p.133〕 Ultimately, the machine was deemed impractical and was nicknamed ''Diplodocus militaris''.〔 It preceded the design and development of the English Little Willie tank by six months.
