The plans currently lack any power source so the lower legs could each house a diesel engine with exhausts in the calf area of the machines leg. This would give the lower leg considerable weight and provide ballast in the same way the engine does a double decker bus. It would also make it easier to access when inevitable break downs occur.

[It would be a nice touch to add a note about the flooding of engines and the moving of exhausts into the upper leg or even the torso, similar to the periscope exhaust on 4x4s.]

Finished third draft pamphlet ready for todays crit. It is lacking text as one common denominator for all the War Office publications, a substantial body of very dry official text. The 'weathering' process (wetting, dilute ink staining, rubbing, drying and sand papering) has worked well however the drawings and text have remained very dark The fading of the real examples will have obviously taken decades so I will need to use a lighter tone when drawing and writing to create a similar effect.

Following todays crit I have finalised the pamphlet design. The manual is under way and the pamphlet as a booklet has informed its design and construction. For the final outcome the pamphlet will be simplified into something more likely to be handed to the troops in the trench.
