On the from end is to be mounted a box arrange- ment which will carry the “business equipment". .For preliminary tests the front end was loaded down witl‘ 700 pounds of large rocks and there was never a whimper from the en- e'ine. Before the machine can be shipped to the bush. however. all the bugs must be ironed out. Monty Baker, Vic M'chullen and Howard Brohm. all of whom have had a hand in its construction and development are certain that the machine can be perfected so that when a ranger ‘oads his pr-mp. hose. shovel, axe and lunch aboard the tobog‘gan and pulls that starter rope, all he’ll have to do is hang on to the handles. The gadget will deliver the goods. ‘dx There’s a strange contraption roaming: the hills of North York. in the Vicinity of the southern research station of the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests. “It's full of bugs â€" but if it works out, there'll be many a tired forest ranger a gleat deal happier," according to thL research officials. The contraption, gadget, or call it what you will, is a summer toboggan It's intended to carry anywhere from 500 to 700 pounds of fire fighting equipment through the heaviest bush and most rugged terrain in Ontario And it will carry the load faster than any'crew of rangers could pos- sibly walk, even “light”. The summer tobog-gan was born in the days of the tremendous forest fires of last summer, when the ran- gers faced the almost insurmount- able task of lugging portable pumps hose and other equipment into the tough Mississagi and Chapleau coun- tries. It is powered with a six- horsepower air cooled engine and has two tracks like a miniature tank or tractor. Through an ingenious doub- le clutch, planned by Monty Baker Departmental mechanical. engineer the tohog'gan is controlled by a pair of handles like a plough. It climbs the steepest hills in this area and seems ready to start climbing trees under Baker’s directions.
