303 weapons and armor protection reached a thickness of 14mm. A new cylindrical turret was used to accommodate one of the two crew members as well. The Carden Mk VII, now a product of Vickers-Armstrong, was developed into the Mk I light tank, which inherited many features of the original design, including the Meadows engine. The Mk VII was selected by the Army as a pilot vehicle for a new light tank powered by a 60 hp Meadows engine and fitted with a turret. Two light Kaden concepts emerged - the infantry-oriented Kaden-Lloyd tank (detailed elsewhere on this page) and the two-man variant Mk VII equipped with a closed turret structure, revolving around the Royal Tank for the Legion.
