Howdy. Claims for tech-terms seem to bee unclear. In fact the army has introduced the terms in the technical documentations:

Reference: United States. Army Materiel Command. The Automotive Assembly, Chapter 11: The Suspension System,, p. pg=SA11-PA14, at Google Books

• VVSS => Vertical volute spring suspension (Refer to 11-9.2 in tech-doc)
• HVSS => Horizontal volute spring suspension, introduced with Sherman developent. (Refer to 11-9.3 in tech-doc)
• Flat track suspension (earlier named Christie Suspension, Refer to 11-10.2 in tech-doc)
• Torsion bar suspension (Refer to 11-10.2 in tech-doc)

This reference is not used up to now here. It should be noted here, for other articles and perhaps by @ Maury Markowitz:. Best -- Ｔｏｍ ( talk) 19:45, 19 September 2021 (UTC) reply

This article is referred to by several other articles (e.g. Super Sherman#History for both VVSS and HVSS suspensions, both currently described in this article.

When hovering over the link from such with the mouse pointer, you get info and picture of VVSS for links to both links, and it looks as it is an error, even where HVSS link points on section Vertical volute spring suspension#Horizontal volute spring suspension here with text and picture appropriate for HVSS.

Is there a solution with this anoying little problem other than separating HVSS info into a dedicated article? Marjan Tomki SI ( talk) 18:51, 24 January 2023 (UTC) reply

The first paragraph mentions use of this suspension type on Italian tanks. If this is correct, it should be edited to clarify which ones, or removed if untrue. As far as I know, Italian tanks utilized leaf spring bogie suspensions derived from the Vickers 6 Ton. Graphite24816 ( talk) 01:51, 29 November 2023 (UTC) reply
