I was thrown by the album referring to Medium Tanks Mk I and II as Light Tanks. Its use in the album shows that this was Vickers' own practice. The term Medium Tank seems to have been used from the late 1920s or early 1930s.
This blog provides images and information on interwar tank development by Vickers Armstrong Ltd. The photographs used have come from two works albums from Vickers Armstrong Ltd, held by the Beamish Museum and used here with permission. They also cover other vehicles including half tracks and wheeled transport.
