Sorry, my bad. I must have been thinking of another short tread unit from about that time frame.
Yes, the Mighty Auk was an impressive machine. But the ball drive was just plain cool.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
