Very cool snow machine

This is a neat video (no sound) of a 1924 snow machine.

It was very cool to watch. Wonder what ever happened to it?

Thanks, AMink

thats neat... I like seeing old machinery like that. Some of the designs you see from time to time really makes you appreciate the early pioneers. . Where I work, we have a bunch of old Holt Machinery Co. tractors... (forefather of Caterpillar) on display... . some of them are so simple today, but revolutionary by their period standards...

I see stuff like that and think what could be done with today's technology. Someone could build something like that that would kick butt in deep sand, snow, water, and mud. All in one relatively simple machine.
