From the point of view of driver fatigue, the Bendix Power Control tank No. 908 is better than the standard M4A2 medium tank. The work output of the driver was 50% greater when operating the standard medium tank M4A2 than when driving the Bendix Power Control tank No. 908. Driver fatigue in the Bendix Power Control tank No. 908 was not excessive. The fatigue resulting from driving the standard tank, if it could be run over such terrain for many hours without mechanical failure, would be excessive. On short runs of from 3 to 6 hours the driver of the standard tank showed higher pulse rates, had more symptoms of fatigue, and felt more tired than was the case when driving tank No. 908.
