When creating these tables, an effort was made to prioritize primary sources (e.g. stencils on unrestored tanks, manuals) over other references. The reasoning was twofold: First, primary sources are more likely to be technically specific (e.g. specific mark numbers) and include detailed information (e.g. manufacturer). Second, secondary sources are presumed to be more likely to introduce errors (e.g. conflating different models) as the information is reproduced. | When creating these tables, an effort was made to prioritize primary sources (e.g. stencils on unrestored tanks, manuals) over other references.
