If anybody is interested in tank transmissions and steering systems i have written a very long and detailed article about the Cross Drive CD-850 transmission found in Patton tanks and also went into explaining the Merritt Brown system through Z51R from Centurion and TN.12 from Chieftain and comparing it to the Cross Drive series. It is a bit long around 78000 words and 450 pages but if anybody is interested on such topic here is the link below.

The Magach 4 is seemingly missing from history with the only evidence of its existenss being an old report from 1982 which talks about the syrian military capturing a magach 4 loaded with M111 Hetz ammunition, the magach 4 is even missing from wikipedia and barely has any photos of it online, i personally only know of one actual example of it which sits in the Kubinka tank musuem inside Russia
