The answer to the “What is it? Wednesday” question of September 25th is the “Squirrel Cage” guard in the turret of the M60A1 main battle tank in the Gulf War Gallery. Spent shell casings would be ejected from the gun and hit an asbestos pad suspended from the turret roof and backed up by this ‘cage’ to force casings to the floor. The ‘cage’ also kept items stored in the turret bustle and oddiment tray from falling to the turret floor when bouncing across rough terrain. Several of you got this right… were you tankers in an M60? If so, sound off!Stay tuned for the next “What is it? Wednesday” later today!#americanheritagemuseum #whatisitwednesday ... See MoreSee Less
