Heavy Tank T30 (XT-1400)

One T30 was later used to test the XT-1400 cross-drive transmission. Variants of the XT-1400 transmission were later used on vehicles such as the Heavy Recovery Vehicle M51 which used the XT-1400-2A version. The XT-1400 entered production in 1954 and continued for 34 years after, but it may have been tested on the T30 before that; that information is not known.
