I'm trying to figure out where the A7V's drive sprocket grips the track, (pity me, I don't have access to Whitmore or Hundleby & Strasheim nor do I have the AU$300plus needed to purchase them). I've looked over several photographs and diagrams and the only conclusion I could come to was that the link pin for each track also served as the lug. This seems problematic however, as placing the load across the pin would surely put extra force on this crucial link. Does anyone have this info?
The Renault FT family used the same principle as can be discerned by the chunky drive sprocket. I think our Rhomboids might have done as well, though the sprocket teeth seem finer IIRC.
