Hi Quatermass and RichardB,thanks for the interesting input,I was just comparing the tracks from pics in various books on the Tiger 1,in some views the track pin head comes to within about an inch of the outer end of the track link,page 103 of "Steel Rain" shows this to good effect,on page 31 of "Tigers in Combat" the track link pin head seems to be about about 3 inches from the end of the track link,the "duckbill"does appear to be just a bit longer,on the other hand it could be just the way I have interpretted the pics,on having a closer look at the pics it looks like the extra width of track protrudes beyond the grousers and is for the outer road wheels to run on as it does not come into contact with the road at all unless the tank is driven on soft ground,I know,,,,back to the books,Thanks chaps,I would welcome your views on my comments,
Regards,
Don,
