New developments are com-
monplace in the, fast growing
snowmobile industry. "Typical
is one machine that li ter ally
writes its name in the snow as __
it travels along. Identification
is on it's track, or centre driye
belt, in a way that will leave
an imprint, wherever it goes...
The special trade mark will
be bordered, top and bottom,
with an arrow pointing in 'the
direction the machine is *headed.
The idea for the "directional
trade mark" was born of dram-
atic circumstances while film-
ing the T. V. Series: "-The-Pleas
ures of Snowmobiling", in
Northern Quebec some two years
ago.
One of the "grips", or stage-
hands, set out on a snowmobilt
to fetch, from the lodge, various
propos needed to complete a
scene, His trip, although relat-
ively short, took him through
dense woods bordering the . •
Laurentide Provincial Park.
En route, the man decided
to take a shortcut and although
an experienced snowmobile en-
thusiast, he got lost. Then he
thought he would hack-track...
which he did till he came across
another snowmobile trail. He
followed it for awhile, then
took another, then another,
never able to tell whether the
tracks were his or made by
some other machine.' "'inund
and 'round he went, for'more
than two hours...
•
By this time the crew, wor-
ried, had gone out after him.
Experts were able to tell by the
imprint of the serial number
'from the track, that the trail
they'-were following was that-of
the mactrine--they-were-after--
and that the direction They were
inwas the right one.
/fhe stagehand was soon found,
a short distance from the lodge,
suffering no ill effects other
than he got the scare of his life.
Later, when discussing the
incident in front of a warm fire,
the idea of a "directional trade
mark" took form.
Engineers quickly tackled
the problem of placing the trade
mark on the centre drive belt
without affecting the traction of
the machine.
