For those who haven't seen it, the National Film Board had a film online titled "Ordeal By Ice" which has good footage of the Armoured Snomobiles in use, and very short clips of an M7 Show Tractor and Weasel being tested.

When this thread started, seven years ago, I asked for an author for the Penguin and/or Armoured Snowmobile. At the time I bragged that I had published three titles in the Weapons of War series.
Fast forward to 2010. There are now 27 titles in the series with another dozen in the pipeline. BUT, I still don't have an author for this one. Any takers?

Armoured SnoMo
For whoever wants to get started on this, there is a file on the Armoured Snowmobile at Archives: RG24 volume 2635 HQS 3352-75, there is also one among McNaughton's papers MG30 E133 volume 214. DM&S' Design Record of Canadian Development of Military Vehicles, also has a fair amount as well on the Armoured Snowmobile and on its two experimental off-shots the Mudcat and the Muskrat.
The files on the Penguin RG24 Series C-1-b , Accession 1983-84/048 , Box 3334 7016-Penguin are still restricted so they will need to be cleared through Acess to information

Another interesting archive to explore

That was a real find, now I'll spend a couple of hours exploring what else the NFB has when I could be out in the cold working on the trucks. Let me see 10 F with 30 mph wind, wonder how long it will take to get the shop from 40F to 60F. Just watching that film makes me shiver. Cheers Phil

Is it Spring time in New Hamshire...?
..... you must be having a January Thaw....
..... it was minus 22 C this morning..... windchill minus 33 C...... forecast is minus 25 C for the next two nights.... hopefully with no wind.... Frost bite warning have been issue until Sunday.... No doubt Lucifer will be chugging this weekend.....takes about 2 to 3 hours to bring the temp in the barn above freezing...... another 2 to 4 hours to get 50+ F......... by then it is time to go back to the house for supper..... On the positive side...... we have had little snow and the last snowfall has dropped in a icy base...... with the high wind our recent snow is now 200 km to the East of us..... CMP recovery is out of the question........ Boob
