The mobility of the
Universal Carrier is rated as
Half-tracked. On roads it can move
18"/45cm, when travelling cross
country 12"/30cm and only 4"/10cm through rough terrain. |
The Universal
Carrier proved to be a very versatile vehicle; able to transport
troops and supplies in addition to weapons such as machine-guns
or mortars. The driver and commander sat in the front of the
vehicle with the driver of the right hand side; the commander
manned the weapon, commonly a Bren gun mounted slightly forward
of the driving position.

Powered by an
engine placed in the centre of the vehicle, steering was provided
by the combination of small movements made on a steering wheel.
This turned the front road wheels slightly to enable the vehicle to
drift in that direction. Turning the steering wheel to a
greater degree would brake the tracks and turn the vehicle more sharply in
the appropriate direction. |

Several different
types of the carrier existed, each design differing slightly to
accommodate weapons such as a medium machine-gun or mortars and
even a flamethrower. The Universal Carrier also proved useful in
towing guns such as the 6 pdr anti-tank gun. |
