| The book "World War Two Tanks", by George Forty, Osprey 1995, p 43.
"Third of the early Infantry Tanks was a private venture designed by Leslie Little of Vickers
Armstrongs. Contrary to the theory that the tank was accepted on St. Valentine's Day and
hence its name, it is strongly believed (by the firm at least) that its name was derived from
the company's address: Vickers Armstrongs Ltd, Engineers Newcastle upon Tyne."
