Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox weapon The Albion CX22S was a heavy artillery tractor used by the British Army during World War II.

Overview

The Albion CX22S was designed and built by Albion Motors in late 1943 to supplement the Scammell Pioneer heavy artillery tractor, which was not available in sufficient numbers. In service the CX22S was used by the British Army to tow the 155mm Long Tom and the BL 7.2-inch howitzer.[1][2]

The CX22S was based on Albion's CX23N 10-ton truck. The CX22S was a wheeled 6x4 truck, powered by a Шаблон:Convert six-cylinder inline diesel engine, through a four-speed gearbox and two-speed auxiliary gearbox. The cab of the CX22S had bench seating for two or three whilst the rear body had bench seating for four and folding seats for two more along with stowage for tools, equipment and ammunition. The CX22S was fitted with an Шаблон:Convert Scammell vertical-spindle winch under the rear body to assist with moving a gun.[1][2]

Albion built 532 CX22S artillery tractors between November 1943 and June 1945.[2]
