By the way ... what does "track" mean in ref to "tracked vehicles"?
|
Singular I guess; tanks and the like are "tracked" meaning they have no wheels directly on the ground and utilise a continuous "chain" of links, but I'm sure you know this.
Each side then is a set of tracks or just plain track.
Maybe it gets confusing when wheeled vehicles are the topic since here "track" means the distance or width across the vehicle between the centre lines of the tyres and when you have the steering alignment checked/adjusted you could say "I'm having my car tracked" or "the tracking is out (of alignment)"

Gen up on Ackerman angles, we'll ask questions later.
