A mine detonator built on a M4 Sherman tank by US Marines and Navy Seabees flails its way successfully through Japanese minefields and boobytraped roads. This anti-mine device built from scrap was designed, fabricated and tested by men of the two services. It consists of two revolving drums to which are attached heavy chain flails, a driving mechanism, a supporting frame and a mechanism for raising and lowering the flails.
