The two-man tracked machine-gun carrier of 1928, built by Vickers-Armstrongs after it bought Carden-Loyd Tractors, and licence-built in Italy, the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia. About 450 Carden-Loyd tankettes of all marks were made between 1927 and 1935.
Vickers-Armstrongs' tracked artillery tractors: the Light Dragon of 1929–35, 69 of its Mark III on the running gear that became the Universal Carrier's, and the open tracked tractor Belgium bought in 1934 for its mountain guns.
The first British carriers, developed from Vickers-Armstrongs' VA D50 of 1934: the machine-gun carriers of 1936–37, the Bren, Scout and Cavalry carriers and the armoured observation post. About 2,400 were built before the Universal replaced them in 1940.
One hull for every carrier's job, from 1940: about 113,000 carriers of all types were built from 1934 to 1960 in Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United States, the most-produced armoured fighting vehicle in history.
