Quick question on Book 8

ld80062

SOC-9
On p. 26, Book 8 (Robots)

Tracks
Suspension: Tracks require at least 20% of chassis volume.
Transmission; One unit of transmission is required for each kilowatt of power plant output. The total transmission volume must fit within the chassis volume.
For example, a robot has a 300 liter chassis and a power plant output of 90 kw. The track suspension takes a minimum of 60 liters, which weighs 45 kg and costs Cr1500, The 90 units of track transmission take 54 liters, use 36 kw, weigh 135 kg, and cost Cr1350.
Now, since the suspension table for tracks reads:
Tracks V(litres) 1, Wt(kg)1.0, Price(CR) 25,

I am assuming that the example for tracks is in error, and that the 60 litres of track suspension should weigh 60 kg. Am I right?

(I'm only asking this because it wasn't errated by "Hyphen" - http://traveller.downport.com/ct/errataB8robots.shtml
Otherwise, I would have just assumed it was an error.

Thanks...
