Ben - 17/5/2006 5:18 PMNo, he's right. They were called Hans and Franz in the 60s. They talked about it a bit at the anniversary Jan 13th. Today they are just 1 and 2 as far as I know.

sprtnsky - 21/5/2006 1:22 PMI'm glad that there is a Crawler-Transporter thread.While Bucyrus-Erie was the one that designed the CT,, NASA put the project out for bids and Marion won it, from what I rememebr that it still cost 11 million to build, the same as what Bucyrus-Erie first told NASA it would cost..funny how things go around..the new cleats almost cost much alone.any hints on how to post pic's??The rock used for the crawlerways is from Alabama, I think from the southern end of the State.
