FYI: I chose this article title because even though M113 C&R is the original manufacturer's name, the friendlier name Lynx seems to be used more often by references such as Jane's. This makes sense, since that's the Canadian name, and Canada is the only English-speaking country where this vehicle was employed. — Michael  Z. 2006-06-28 01:22 Z
