ww1 Industrial Warfare

**Chopperman** · 06-19-2022, 05:28 PM

One of the things that drew me to collecting ww1 items instead of later
periods was the industrial look of the time. Things were starting to change away from horse drawn
carriages to mechanized warfare.

I enjoy seeing these pictures of old, huge clumsy pieces of machinery that was
the "cutting edge technology" of the day.

Please feel free to add as much as you like as long as it stays close to the topic.

I feel the same way Greg. It’s was a period of such rapid change with the Victorian era not that far behind but seemingly so in term of technology. Some of these vehicles have a bit of steampunk feel to them.

Hello, Here's a couple of pics I found.

American troops using a sound amplifier to search for enemy aircraft.

The Germans using a tandem bicycle to power a light radio station. September 1917.

I'm adding this Hercules truck picture.
It's a very uncommon truck mfg. so if anyone has any information on them,
please pass it along.

Thanks to Witt for alloying me to post this one
