Armored Car 'Field', Type 3.

The photography shows one of the two copies of Field Armored Cars Type 3, manufactured in the workshops of the "Construction Field" of Barcelona, in late 1936. Probably were performed on American truck chassis "Federal". The approximate weight of the vehicle was 8,000 kg. Armament consisted of one or more Hotchkiss Machine Guns of 7.7-mm. Also the crew of the Armored Car could fire with their rifles, from five loopholes in the hull and from the passenger seat of the driver as well as from the turret.

Back of the first vehicle, appears partially an Hispano-Suiza 3H6 Armored Car of the First Series, with three men on the turret. These vehicles were also manufactured in Barcelona on the same dates. This photography belongs to a series in which Republican column appears composed of several Armored Cars.The photographs were taken at the Aragon Front in January 1937.

Coche Blindado 'Field', Tipo 3.

La fotografía muestra uno de los dos ejemplares de Coches Blindados Field Tipo 3, fabricados en los talleres de la "Constructora Field" de Barcelona, a finales de 1936. Probablemente se realizaron sobre chasis de camiones estadounidenses "Federal". El peso aproximado del vehículo era de 8.000 Kg. El armamento consistía en una o más ametralladoras Hotchkiss de 7,7-mm. También la dotación del blindado podía disparar sus fusiles desde cinco aspilleras en el casco y desde el puesto del acompañante del conductor, así como desde la torreta.

Detrás del primer vehículo, aparece parcialmente un Coche Blindado Hispano-Suiza 3H6 de la primera serie, con tres hombres sobre la torreta. Estos vehículos también fueron fabricados en Barcelona en las mismas fechas. Esta fotografía pertenece a una serie en la que aparece una columna republicana compuesta de varios coches blindados. Las fotografías fueron  tomadas en el Frente de Aragón en enero de 1937.
