Given the importance of half-tracks in World War II, and the large variety of WWII material already on Wikipedia, I'm surprised there wasn't already an article on them. --Carnildo 03:55, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Merge/contradict

This article currently specifies that half-tracks have caterpillar tracks, which excludes Kegresse tracks, but this contradicts the info at Kegresse tracks. Meanwhile, this article goes into a bit of Adolphe Kégresse history, and links to Adolphe Kégresse, but that just redirects to Kegresse track. Perhaps everything should just be brought together?

Nonsense. Kegresse is just an unusual kind of caterpillar track. —Michael Z. 2006-10-26 21:48 Z

No merge seems to be indicated. I have created a special article for Adolphe Kégresse himself, thus removing the unequal redirect. And moved the track article name to Kégresse, the correcter spelling :o).--MWAK 09:43, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Oops!

I came here to look for half-track protection scheme, as used on the C64 for example. Nothing there... -andy 80.129.109.188 20:39, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
