ccc - Clarkat tug [1 of 2]

Looks like an aircraft tug to me, dating from WW2.
[or possibly the tug for towing out bomb trollies ?]
-/-
Turns out, from a little extra research, that it was both an aircraft tug, but also towed bomb trollies and other freight. The tricycle format probably gave it some extra manoeuvrability.
Built by a division of Clark Equipment, in the USA, during WW2. The firm still exists, building forklifts.
ccc - tug controls [2 of 2]

Part of the controls & instruments - their locations, anyway - for the little three-wheel "tug" that was on display outside the buildings for the car museum.
The plate at the top right indicates that this "CLARKAT" was built by Clark Trucktractor, a Division of Clark Equipment, Battle creek, Michigan, USA. [who still exist, making forklifts !]
The other plate states that it was reconditioned by Stewart Bros (London) of Reigate, Surrey.
Neither plate appears to be dated.
