The Armadillo is a 4 wheeled armoured personnel carrier (APC) designed and solely operated by Guatemala. It was designed and built in 1981 in response to difficulties in obtaining American made military vehicles due to the ongoing civil war. It was inspired by the Cadillac Gage Commando. [1] [2]
The box exterior was made of 7 ⁄ 8 inch (22 mm) thick wooden boards measuring about 4 feet (1.2 m) by 5 feet 2 inches (1.57 m) and standing 4 feet 6 inches (1.37 m) high. Inside this was another, similar wooden box about 6 in (150 mm) smaller all round; the gap between the boxes was filled with gravel. [2]
Glyptodon (lit. ' grooved or carved tooth '; from Ancient Greek γλυπτός (gluptós) 'sculptured' and ὀδοντ-, ὀδούς (odont-, odoús) 'tooth') [1] is a genus of glyptodont, an extinct group of large, herbivorous armadillos, that lived from the Pliocene, around 3.2 million years ago, [2] to the early Holocene, around 11,000 years ago, in South America.

A metric ISO screw thread is designated by the letter M followed by the value of the nominal diameter D (the maximum thread diameter) and the pitch P, both expressed in millimetres and separated by a dash or sometimes the multiplication sign, × (e.g. M8-1.25 or M8×1.25). If the pitch is the normally used "coarse" pitch listed in ISO 261 or ...
The pitch of 0BA is 1 mm and the pitch of each higher numbered thread is obtained by multiplying the pitch of the lower number by 0.9 so K-BA has a pitch of p = 0.9 K [4]: 12 rounded to two significant figures in mm. The major diameter is given by 6p 1.2, [4]: 12 rounded to two significant figures in mm and the hex head size (across the flats ...
The carriages were identical to those used with Ordnance BL 4.5 inch Mark 2. No limber was ever used and the gun fired with its wheels in contact with the ground. Figures for the weight of the gun differ between sources: Ian Hogg states "total weight in action" of 13,646 pounds (6.190 t), Nigel Evans mentions "basic weight" of 5.3 unspecified ...
The gun originated from a desire for a longer 12 in (30 cm) gun than the existing RML 12-inch 35-ton gun.Experiments in 1874 with both 12 in (30 cm) and 12.5 in (32 cm) versions 3 ft (91 cm) longer than the existing 12 in (30 cm) gun showed the 12.5 in (32 cm) calibre was more suitable, and further experiments showed a projectile of 800 lb (360 kg) could be fired with a charge of 130 lb (59 kg ...
