The first Tetrarch prototype (then called a PR Tank or Purdah), was produced by Vickers-Armstrong in 1938. The vehicle was approved by the Army and production started in 1940, only to cease soon after following the bad performance of light tanks during the prevailing stage of the war.
The production of Mk VIIs was restarted in 1941 following the adoption of the vehicle by airborne forces, since it was light enough to be deployed from the air, via Hamilcar gliders, to support paratroops. The name "Tetrarch" was given to the vehicle in 1943.
The most interesting feature of the Tetrarch was its unique skid steering system that accomplished turns by the lateral movement of road wheels, which bowed the tracks. For sharp turns, the driver had to apply brakes to one track in the traditional fashion.
The Tetrarch turret design was also used on the Daimler Armoured Car.
