Developed to meet the need for a rugged, readily transportable combat machine, it could carry men and weapons on the variety of battlefields likely to be encountered in limited warfare. Not only is it more agile than most tanks, say the engineers, but it can also press on even if one engine fails or several tires are punctured. Lockheed recently negotiated a $3,000,000 contract with the Pentagon for the production of test vehicles. Though their design is military, Twisters might eventually be used by construction men, explorers...
