Guess what this Attex Prototype is for!

Can anyone guess what the purpose of this Attex Prototype is?

Well, it's obviously electric, so there are no emmissions. It's a very low profile, possibly for tight spaces. However the lack of any sort of lights logically rules out any type of underground use. It's too small for a man in a space suit, so it's not a Moon rover prototype. I wouldn't want to get in the mud and water with it.

Well, you got me Bill!! What is it?

Is it the MERV I underground mine recovery vehicle?

Here are some links to some of the blueprints......

OHHHHH! That's what it is! I forgot about that JP, thanks. My first instinct was correct, lol, I shouldn't have second guessed myself.

I would be going for some chain guards tho....

Correct, it is the MERV 1! Was built for the MSA.

Cool! Was this the only one that was built, Mr. Gerber? Were there plans to produce a large number of them?

I will have to ask my father Howard on that one, I will get back to you!

Thanks! I look forward to the response. In the meantime, I'll continue to stare at all those cool old Attex prototype pics.......WOW!

Ummm, looking at the pictures, I just noticed that there are no shifters in the T-20. It almost looks like the holes aren't completely bored out. What's up with that?
