Bramah Joseph Diplock (27 April 1857 – 9 August 1918)[1] was an English inventor who invented the pedrail wheel in 1903[2][3] and the pedrail chaintrack, a type of caterpillar track, in 1910. Diplock was born in Chelsea, London to Thomas Bramah Diplock, a coroner, and Eleanor Diplock.[4][5] Pedrail Transport CompanyDiplock founded the Pedrail Transport Company of Fulham, which at the outbreak of World War I was the only British company still manufacturing "caterpillar" continuous tracks.[6] A demonstration of the system's ability to support a large load for trench warfare was made on 16 February 1915 to Winston Churchill, and may have been influential in the development of the tank.[7] Diplock Glacier in Antarctica is named after him.
