Correct. The difference in weight between a 16inch track and a 21inch track is a full ton. Thats an additional ton that the drive wheel at the front has to haul around to get the tank to go to the same speed. Plus, your hinges are longer, and each hinge has an amount of resistance in it as well. So, it actually made a lot of sense to go with the narrower track. In hindsight, again, perhaps not the best decision. So, the solution was the easy 8 suspension, the horizontal value, which had been tested earlier in the heavier tanks, so again, this isnt a new idea. They actually tried to hold a series of suspension types. You look at all sorts of weird pictures, but they went with this thing they had tried before, wider tracks. And the result, if you put everything together, is the m4a3, because that was the preferred engine, 66 horizontal value suspension system, which is commonly and incorrectly known as the ez8.

Fund strat energy, industrials once again leading, less than 20 points away from dow 25,500 tom, you just raised your yearending s p target to 3,025. How did you get there . Well, its just a simple matter of e growing 13 and some expansion gets you to 3,025. So a 10 upside to the market do you think its high enough . You know, our technician was thinking about how he thinks the base case is 3,000 so the s p could do something several hundred points higher than that. I think 3,000 is a good base case.
