ʻO ke kaʻa kāhiko ʻo Humber Mk.IV
ʻO ke kaʻa kāhiko ʻo Humber Mk.IVKaʻa Paʻa, Humber;
He kino kiʻekiʻe ke kino o ke kaʻa pale kaua, ʻo nā papa kila o luna o ia mea aia ma kekahi kihi i ke kū pololei. ʻO ka mānoanoa o ka pale kaua mua o ka hull he 16 mm, ʻo ka pale kaua ʻaoʻao he 5 mm, ʻo ka mānoanoa o ka pale kaua mua o ka turret a hiki i 20 mm. I loko o ke kaʻa o ke kaʻa i hoʻopaʻa ʻia, hoʻohana ʻia ʻelua axles kaʻa me nā huila hoʻokahi, me nā kaila o kahi ʻāpana hoʻonui me nā makau ukana ikaika. Ma muli o kēia, ua loaʻa i nā kaʻa kaua me ka mana haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa i ka maneuverability maikaʻi a me ka maneuverability. Ua hoʻokumu ʻia kahi mauna anti-aircraft self-propelled me kahi quad anti-aircraft machine-gun mount ma ke kumu o ka Humber.
Ma muli o nā kuleana aelike i ke aupuni Pelekāne no ka hana ʻana i nā kaʻa kaʻa a me nā traktor pu no ka pūʻali koa Pelekāne, ʻaʻole i hiki iā Guy Motors ke hana i nā kaʻa pale kaua i lawa no ka hoʻokō ʻana i ke koi e piʻi mau nei i waena o nā pūʻali. No kēia kumu, ua hoʻoili ʻo ia i ke kauoha no ka hana ʻana i nā kaʻa kaua i ka Carrier Company, kahi ʻāpana o ka hui ʻoihana ʻo Roots Group. I loko o nā makahiki kaua, ua kūkulu kēia hui i ʻoi aku ma mua o 60% o nā kaʻa kaua Pelekane a pau, a ua kapa ʻia ka hapa nui o lākou ʻo "Humber". Eia naʻe, ua hoʻomau ʻo Guy Motors i ka hana ʻana i nā hull welded armored, i kau ʻia ma ka chassis Humber.
ʻO ke kumu o ke kaʻa kaua "Humber" Mk. Ua waiho ʻia au ma luna o ke kaʻa kaua "Guy" Mk. ʻO wau a me ka chassis o ka artillery tractor "Carrier" KT4, i hoʻolako ʻia i India i ka wā ma mua o ke kaua. I mea e kūpono ai ka chassis i ka hull "Guy", pono e hoʻoneʻe ʻia ke ʻenekini. I loko o ka hale kiaʻi ʻelua o ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka pōʻaiapuni i hale 15-mm a me 7,92-mm mau pū mīkini "Beza". ʻO ke kaumaha o ke kaʻa he 6,8t. Ma waho, ua like loa nā kaʻa kaua ʻo "Guy" Mk I a me "Humber" Mk I, akā hiki ke ʻike ʻia ka "Humber" e nā pale hope hope a me nā mea haʻalulu mua elongated. Ma keʻano he mea e kamaʻilio ai, ua hoʻolakoʻia nā kaʻa kaua me nā lekiō helu 19. He 300 mau kaʻa o kēiaʻano i hanaʻia.
Aia ma ka hope o ka hull ka ʻenekini, kahi i hoʻopaʻa ʻia he ʻeono cylinder, carbureted, in-line, wai-cooled Roots engine me ka neʻe ʻana o 4086 cm3, e hoʻomohala ana i ka mana o 66,2 kW (90 hp) ma 3200 rpm. Ua hoʻopili ʻia ka ʻenekini Roots i kahi hoʻoili i loaʻa i kahi puʻupuʻu maloʻo maloʻo, kahi pahu pahu pahu ʻehā-wikiwiki, kahi pahu hoʻololi ʻelua-wikiwiki, a me nā kaʻa hydraulic. I ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o nā huila āpau me nā puna lau semi-elliptical, ua hoʻohana ʻia nā huila me nā kaila o ka nui 10,50-20.
Ma ka laulā ʻO nā kaʻa kaua Pelekane I ka wā o ke Kaua Honua ʻElua, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o nā mīkini like i hana ʻia ma nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe, a ʻaʻole ʻokoʻa ka Humber i kēia lula. Ua lako pono i na mea kaua a me na lako kaua maikai, ua maikai loa kona mana ma waho o ke alanui i ka wa e holo ai maluna o ka aina ino, a ma na alanui i palua ia, ua nee ia ma ka 72 km/h. Ua mālama ʻia nā hoʻololi hou o ka Humber i ka mīkini kumu a me nā chassis; ua hana ʻia nā hoʻololi nui i ka hull, turret a me nā mea kaua. Ma ka Humber Mk IV, ua hoʻokomo ʻia ka pū anti-tank ʻAmelika 37-mm M6 me 71 mau pōā o ka mea kaua nui. I ka manawa like, ua mālama ʻia ka pū mīkini 7,92-mm Beza, nona ka 2475 mau pōʻai, i mālama ʻia i loko o ka hale kiaʻi. No laila, i ka wā o ke Kaua Honua ʻElua, ua lilo kēia kaʻa pale kaua i kaʻa kaua huila Pelekane mua me nā mea kaua pū. Eia naʻe, ʻo ka hoʻokomo ʻana i kahi pū nui i loko o ka turret i hoʻihoʻi i ka nui o ka poʻe holo mua - ʻekolu mau kānaka. Ua piʻi ka paona kaua o ke kaʻa i 7,25 tons. Ua lilo kēia hoʻololi i ka nui loa - 2000 Humber Mk IV nā kaʻa pale kaua i ʻōwili ʻia mai ka laina hui ʻo Carrier.
Mai 1941 a 1945, 3652 Humbers o nā hoʻololi a pau i hana ʻia. Ma waho aʻe o Great Britain, ua hana ʻia nā kaʻa kaua o kēia ʻano ma Kanada ma lalo o ka inoa ʻo "General Motors Armored Car Mk I ("FOX" I)". Ua ʻoi aku ke kaumaha o nā kaʻa kaua kaua Kanada ma mua o ka Pelekane a hoʻolako ʻia me nā ʻenekini ʻoi aku ka ikaika. ʻO ka nui o nā Humbers i hanaʻia ma UK a me Kanada ua kokoke i 5600 mau kaʻa; no laila, ua lilo kekahi kaʻa pale kaua o kēia ʻano i kaʻa kaʻa kaua kaʻa ʻōlelo Pelekane nui loa i ka wā o ke Kaua Honua ʻElua. Ua hoʻohana ʻia nā kaʻa kaua "Humber" o nā hoʻololi like ʻole i nā hale kiʻiʻoniʻoni a pau o nā hana kaua o ke Kaua Honua ʻElua. Mai ka hopena o 1941, ua hakakā nā kaʻa o kēia ʻano ma ʻApelika ʻĀkau ma ke ʻano he 11th Hussars o ka 2nd New Zealand Division a me nā ʻāpana ʻē aʻe. ʻO kahi helu liʻiliʻi o Humbers i komo i nā kamaʻilio patrolling ma Iran, kahi i hāʻawi ʻia ai ka ukana i ka USSR.
I ke kaua ma ʻEulopa Komohana, ua hoʻohana nui ʻia nā mīkini hoʻololi Mk IV. He 50 mau kaa pale kaua o Humber MkI i loko o ka pūʻali koa Inia i nā Lancers 19 ponoʻī o ka Mōʻī George V. Ma hope o ke Kaua Honua ʻElua, ʻaʻole i liʻuliʻu ka Humbers i ka pūʻali koa Pelekane. , hāʻawi i nā ʻano hou o nā kaʻa pale kaua. I nā pūʻali koa o nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe (Burma, Ceylon, Cyprus, Mexico, etc.), ua hana lōʻihi lākou. I ka makahiki 1961, aia kekahi mau kaʻa kāhiko o kēia ʻano i loko o nā pūʻali Pukiki i hoʻonoho ʻia ma Goa, kahi panalāʻau Pukiki ma India. ʻO nā hiʻohiʻona a me nā ʻenehana o ke kaʻa kaua "Humber"
Nā kumuhana:

ʻO nā kaʻa kaua "Humber" i hoʻomaka e komo i nā ʻāpana reconnaissance o ka pūʻali koa Pelekania i ka makahiki 1942. ʻOiai ʻo kā lākou hoʻolālā i hoʻohana nui ʻia i nā ʻāpana kaʻa maʻamau, ua loaʻa iā lākou kahi hoʻonohonoho pahu: aia ka ʻāpana mana me kahi ʻenekini carburetor hoʻoluʻu wai ma hope, ʻo ke keʻena hakakā ma ka ʻaoʻao waena o ka hull, a ʻo ke keʻena hoʻomalu i loko o ka pahu. mua. Ua hoʻokomo ʻia ka mea kaua i loko o ka turret nui i kau ʻia ma ke keʻena kaua. ʻO nā hoʻololi o ke kaʻa kaua I-III i hoʻopaʻa ʻia me kahi pū mīkini 15-mm, hoʻololi ʻia ʻo IV me kahi pūkuniahi 37-mm a me kahi pū mīkini 7,92-mm coaxial me ia. Ua hoʻohana ʻia kekahi pū mīkini e like me ka pu anti-aircraft a kau ʻia ma luna o ka hale o ka hale kiaʻi.
