Il 22 luglio 1915 si decise la costruzione di un carro armato di 28 tonnellate, capace di attraversare una <a href="/wiki/Trincea" title="Trincea">trincea</a> larga 1,2 metri. </p><p>Il carro armato venne sviluppato presso Fosters Wellington Works su Firth Road e testato su un campo a sud della <i>Lincoln Avoiding Line</i>, una linea ferroviaria poi chiusa nel 1985.
