History

I went looking for some history on this tank after seeing Jiri's comment on the Recent Changes page. I was unable to find anything on Google using "AMX 12t" or any variation thereof. I also tried a search for "AMX 13 prototype" and came up empty. I tried running the French link listed on Wikipedia's article for the AMX-13 through Google Translate, but that site only has a photo. Any ideas on where else to look? Do the French have another name for it? --Trifler 07:24, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

ANSWER: There aint much info about the prototype AMX-12T, but i've found this:

Follow-tank, designed by French spices, was «AMX 12t». This is the younger brother of the future French «AMX 13". Already from the name it is clear that the weight of the tank was equal 12 tons. Chassis younger brother had a rear roller bearing, which was at the same time and sloth. As it turned out, this configuration rinks was unreliable and caused constant prepyadstviya track tension. This chassis with a modified configuration of the rollers where the sloth was the individual parts of the chassis, which has led to a lengthening of the hull, has become a base for the development of the legend of French tank designers «AMX-13." AMX 12t tower was the ancestor of the turret «AMX-13." The tank, according to the draft, was equipped with an autoloader.
