Description

In 1922, when Joseph-Armand Bombardier was once fifteen years old he built his first snow vehicle. He had at all times loved to tinker with motors and make things go, and he dreamed of building a vehicle that could go over snow. His first attempt, the usage of a Model T Ford engine and a wooden propeller, worked well. To Joseph-Armand’s mind, in any case. Not such a lot his father, who made him take the contraption apart. Over time, Joseph-Armand dreamed of turning into a perfect mechanic and inventing machines. But when his young son died of a fever because it was once not possible to get to the hospital over the snow-covered roads, Joseph-Armand applied his single-minded determination to building a vehicle that could go over snow. It took years, but he accomplished his goal. His invention changed the best way people in snow country lived. Inaccessible roads could now be travelled, taking patients to hospitals, doctors and priests to the needy, children to school, and even mail to residents.
