The Christie M1931 originated as the M1928, which used Christie's suspension, and had the ability to run on its tracks or the wheels.The M1928 was demonstrated unofficially to the US Army by traversing a route at an average speed of 45 km/h (28 mph); by contrast the US Army's T1E1 tanks – expected to replace their WWI-era M1917 light tanks – averaged 16 km/h (9.9 mph) over the same route.
John Walter Christie (May 6, 1865 – January 11, 1944) was an American engineer and inventor. [1] He is known best for developing the Christie suspension system used for several World War II-era tank designs, most notably the Soviet BT and T-34 [3] tanks series, and the United Kingdom Covenanter and Crusader Cruiser tanks, as well as the Comet heavy cruiser tank.
The Christie suspension is a suspension system developed by American engineer J. Walter Christie for his tank designs. It allowed considerably longer movement than conventional leaf spring systems then in common use, which allowed his tanks to have considerably greater cross-country speed.

Christie revised the design and debuted the M.1921 a year later. The M.1921 had added suspension and the turret was removed and the guns placed within the hull instead, but it was also rejected on the grounds of being unreliable and under-powered. [1] Tests of the M.1921 continued until July 1924 [2] Going up and down 45º and 35º slopes.
