Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain what armoured cars are in military and civilian senses, describe historical development and classification, support museum, historical and policy questions, and decline operational or technical detail.

A wheeled armoured fighting vehicle, lighter than a tank, used historically and today for reconnaissance, scouting, patrol, escort and internal security, with examples ranging from early twentieth-century armoured cars to modern wheeled reconnaissance and amphibious vehicles; armoured cars are also a civilian category of protected vehicles used to transport cash and valuables, and both senses are described here at the level of history, classification and regulation without operational or technical detail.
