  includes three one-piece Resin Aunt Jemima Mine Rollers.
  
  Based on their experiences in North Africa coupled with intelligence coming out of Europe left little doubt in the mind of the Allies that minefields would pose a serious threat once the liberation of Europe begun. Developing the ability to clear said minefields under combat condition quickly became a top priority.
  
  The obvious solution was to equip an armoured vehicle such as a tank with a method to neutralise minefields. Two methods of denotation were developed; the pressure type such as rollers and flails which relied on creating enough physical force to explode a mine upon contact or the concussion type which relied on the concussive force of an explosive charge to detonate or disable mines.
  
  The T1E3 Aunt Jemima utilised the pressure type system in the form of two rollers each made up of five large metal discs. Propelled along by a Sherman tank, the system was nicknamed after a famous pre-made pancake mix (Aunt Jemima’s) as the discs were said to resemble large pancakes. The size of each disc; 10cm wide and 2.46m in height meant their massive weight (26,000kg total) provided the necessary ground pressure to detonate any mines it encountered.
  
  While it performed well during testing, once in the field the system proved difficult to manoeuvre especially when it came to making a U-turn. The weight of the roller also meant the system was prone to bogging down once any form of soft terrain was encountered.
