Default Churchill Avre log carpet

Hello people. I've been reading a book called cracking Hitlers Atlantic wall. In the book it speaks of a Churchill Avre log carpet. I got a few books on Churchills and have looked on the net and can not find a picture of one. What does it look like. Hope some one could help me.

Johnny

Default Fascine tank.

Thank you for your help but the book I'm reading makes a distinction between the Churchill Fascine tank and the logo carpet churchill . I have see I line drawing of the log carpet churchill . It got a rack that's above the tank where the log carpet go's . Though I can not find a picture of it.
