Designed for quick delivery as well as low cost, the A11 used many stock parts from other vehicles: a Ford V8 engine, a Fordson gearbox, a steering mechanism similar to the one used in Vickers light tanks, and suspension adapted from the Mk IV Dragon artillery tractor that was itself based on the Vickers 6-Ton Tank Model E.

The A13E2 was built to mount the turret of the Vickers designed Cruiser Tank MkI ( A9 ).

The Mk VIC, which was the last in the MK VI series, had the commanders cupola removed and had wider bogies and three carburettors to improve engine performance ; it was also more powerfully armed than the other models, replacing the. 303 and. 50 Vickers machine guns with co-axial and Besa machine guns.

* MK II: 16 built by Vickers Armstrong from 1929 ;

The first fully armored one was the " Motor War Car " designed by Vickers in England in 1902.

Vickers Armstrong also developed a SPAGG based on the chassis of the Mk. E 6-ton light tank / Dragon Medium Mark IV tractor, mounting a Vickers QF-1 " Pom-Pom " gun of 40 mm.

About 26 were sold to Siam and saw action as Infantry support guns and AA guns during the Franco-Thai war ( 1940-1941 ) along with 30 Vickers Mk. E Type B 6-ton tanks.

Though bronze is generally harder than wrought iron, with Vickers hardness of 60 – 258 vs. 30 – 80, the Bronze Age gave way to the Iron Age ; this happened because iron was easier to find and easier to process.

Vickers F. B. 5 Gunbus

Some of the first such " fighters " belonged to the " gunbus " series of experimental gun carriers of the British Vickers company that culminated in the Vickers F. B. 5 Gunbus of 1914.

They were armed with one or two Maxim or Vickers machine guns, which were easier to synchronize than other types, firing through the propeller arc.

During his imprisonment Alcock had resolved to one day fly the Atlantic, and after the war he approached the Vickers engineering and aviation firm at Weybridge, who had considered entering their Vickers Vimy IV twin-engined bomber in the competition but had not yet found a pilot.

The Maxim machine gun was replaced by the improved and lighter Vickers and Lewis machine guns, the Brodie helmet was supplied for better personnel protection against shrapnel and the Mark I tank was invented to try to end the stalemate of trench warfare.

Jupiter Cantab was formed by Richard Altwasser and Steven Vickers.

Owned by Vickers, Ltd., the submersible had been rented out to produce The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, a film featuring a dummy Loch Ness Monster.

When the dummy monster broke loose from the Pisces during filming and sank to the bottom of the loch, Vickers executives capitalised on the loss and ' monster fever ' by allowing the sub to do a bit of exploring.

Heavy guns based on the Maxim such as the Vickers machine gun were joined by many other machine weapons, which mostly had their start in the early 20th century such as the Hotchkiss machine gun.

In 1927, Vickers merged with the Tyneside based engineering company Armstrong Whitworth, founded by W. G. Armstrong, to become Vickers-Armstrongs, Ltd. Armstrong Whitworth had developed along similar lines to Vickers, expanding into various military sectors and was notable for their artillery manufacture at Elswick and shipbuilding at a yard at High Walker on the River Tyne.

This was owned by Vickers, English Electric and Bristol ( holding 40 %, 40 % and 20 % respectively ).

Vickers remained independent until 1999 when the then Vickers plc was acquired by Rolls-Royce plc who sold the defence arm to Alvis plc, which became Alvis Vickers.

Vickers plc and the subsidiaries retained by Rolls-Royce were renamed Vinters in March 2003.
