The record
The P17 towed the French 75 mm field gun and the 47 mm and 25 mm anti-tank guns, and carried troops, signals and ammunition; the P17 bogie was the pattern for the P14, P19 and P107. Six P17s went with the Pamir group of the Croisière Jaune in 1931 and five P17 Ds with Charles Bedaux into northern British Columbia in 1934. Poland took about a hundred P14s, P17s and P19s between 1931 and 1933; the US Ordnance Department tested one, and James Cunningham, Son & Co bought the Kégresse patent and built the T1 half-track in 1932. The Germans took captured P17s into service in 1940 as the Zugkraftwagen Ci 301 (f).
