Mgebrov-Renault dimensions
Permalink   

Hi, has anyone definitive dimensions for this A/C?

I have seen 5.1m long, 2.3m wide, 2.32m high, 4m wheelbase and a track of 1.5m.

This doesn't match drawings I have seen.  One single turret drawing has a 1m scale on it which scale the length to over 5.8m which makes it a big vehicle.

I've attached copies of the drawings for reference. 

The figures are at 5' 8" which makes me think the top drawing is somewhere near.

This older post, if I'm reading it right, states the Renault chassis used was the same as the one the French used for their Renault armoured cars. According to this post the Russians were wholly dissatisfied with the French armour, and so some (11) were re-armoured according to Captain Mgebrov's instructions.

BT White, in Tanks and other AFVs, 1900-1918, states the chassis is, "Believed to be the 18hp, four cylinder, 95/160". And this is the chassis he uses for the French Renault armoured car as well.

Thanks Phil,

I've not had much luck tracing the 95/160, the 40CV looks promising. Renault changed the quoted engine powers at about that time for tax reasons so it's all a bit murky.

I do not know the size of the armored car Renault-Mgebroff. But the chassis were the French armored vehicles Renault without an armored roof. They were in Russia unfit for combat, and 11 pieces to rebook on a draft Mgebroff. The rest was used to shuttle ammunition.
