Summary

In July 1929 in the Soviet Union the first tank-development program was established. The program supposed the development and putting into Army inventory a wide range of different armored fighting vehicles. As the industry was not able to develop and produce appropriate vehicles, the decision was made in December 1923 to purchase a number of foreign designs. In USA Soviet mission inspected two different AFVs — the T-l from Cunningham company and the M.1940 from J.W.Cristie — 2 examples of the later one were purchased in April 1930 as the M. 1940 was found to be superior both in performance and sale contract terms. In December 1930 both vehicles were delivered to the USSR without an armament and being named as "Orginal-1" and "Original-2" underwent an extensive evaluation program. The evaluations revealed a lot of the design shortcomings.
