Aghhh, but then there are the Germans.
Think of British carrier track: Basic links and pins, with a high wear rate.
Think of an American Halftrack Rubber and wire and lasts until it breaks.
Think of the German Halftrack: 450 grease nipples, Torrington caged roller bearings, lasts for ever (until they had to retreat, and no one had time to grease them)
I just derailed my own thread
