| The original captions reads: "Heavy construction equipment is transported by the 61st Engineer Construction Battalion with the model M-52 tandem axle truck-tractor pulling a 36-foot drop-frame semi-trailer" and "On the following pages, the M-39 series of five-ton, 6 x 6 tactical vehicles is shown in actual operation through a series of color and black-and-white photographs. As the original design contractor, working in cooperation with the development engineers of the Detroit Arsenal, International Harvester developed and produced the first M-39 series units. As the principal producer under Army Ordnance contracts, International Harvester is continuing to redesign and effect engineering changes for improved functional operation of these vehicles. The vehicles are manufactured on the production lines at Fort Wayne Works under the same quality control system as the commercial models which have made International Harvester a recognized leader in the heavy-duty truck field." |
