How to drive a Toldi light tank / Nimród SPAAG
The Toldi I, Told II, Toldi IIA, Toldi IIAK light tanks, the Nimród SPAAG and the Lehel APC all shared the same driving mechanism. Driving these tracked vehicles was similar to driving a car becuse all of them had steering wheels instead of levers. This however resulted in one of the design's most unliked feature: the track couldn't be fully stopped.
When the steering wheel was turned the brake slowed down the driving wheels on the desired side but not stopped it, because of that the aforementioned vehicles all had a big, 4.5m radius inner turn. Because of this the vehicles couldn't turn around in tight places which was a huge problem for example on tight mountain roads.
The vehicles had 5 forward and 1 reverse gears. To select a gear the driver had to the clutch (12) and fix the gear stick (17) into the desired gear with the locking handle (16). The hand-brake (10) stopped both driving wheels.
Toldi III The Toldi III was a unique vehicle in this matter. The Ganz factory managed to make its own driving mechanism and built it inside the Toldi III. The tank now had levers instead of a steering wheel and the driving wheels of the suspension could be fully stopped on each side. The tank kept its large turning radius too but with one track fully stopped it had a much smaller, 2m radius now. Sadly there are no photos of this type of steering-gear, but judging how narrow the driver's place was it wasn't too large and probably had only 2 levers in front of the driver.
