Steel chain belt driven vintage vehicles

^^^Also invented by Goodyear, and used to reinforce the trickery the Allies used to confirm to Hitler that General Patton would invade Fortress Europe at the Pas de Calais.

 

I wonder if that same trick could work nowadays

 

Interesting notion, as a great deal of what was used in the Allied deception was 2-dimensional and it still fooled the Germans, but I think reconnaisance is so up-to-date these days, its chances would be very low.

 

The Germans probably thought that nobody would use anything they themselves haven't invented

 

Good point.

Ossipee claims to be the home of the first snowmobile. In 1917, Virgil D. White set up to create a patent for his conversion kit that changed the Ford Model T into a "snowmobile". He also copyrighted the term "snowmobile". At the time, the conversion kit was expensive, costing about $395. Virgil White applied his patent in 1918 and created his own snowmobile. In 1922, his conversion kit was on the markets and available only through Forddealerships. The welcome sign for the town that states "Home of the First Snowmobile" was put up in late 2010.[6]
