The CLB 75 Tank was a U.S.-produced, prototype armoured fighting vehicle built by the C.L.Best Tractor Company of San Leandro a rival of the Holt Manufacturing Company (now Caterpillar Inc.). Developed sometime between late 1916 and early 1917.[1]
The tank was widely photographed in July 4th 1917 parade in San Francisco.[1] Only a few models were used one of which had a semi-cylindrical hull with a turret and another was similar but the hull had flat surfaces. The tanks trained with the California National Guard.[2]
