Beschreibung:

Joseph-Armand Bombardier, age 15, builds a motorized sleigh with his brother Leopold; powered by a propeller and a four-cylinder Ford Model T engine, it has four sleigh runners; the brothers drive their experimental machine for a mile, but their father says it is too dangerous, and insists that they dismantle it.
