Toward end a fellow mentions one of the originators was a machinery person who would enjoy operating the tracked vehicles or even just watching them work - I totally get that thing about enjoying watching tracked vehicles move.

Good video. One point about the raised drive sprocket, Clectrac was using this on their Model F in 1920. The Cat design is more advanced, but still the same basic idea.

Isnt it funny how some companies will claim to be "innovators" of things that have already been invented?! lol

I think Thomas Edison was good at that. lol
