❄️1955 Tucker Sno-Cat Type 743❄️ This Sno-cat was one of four used in the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctica Expedition from 1955-1958. The Sno-cat had been developed to negotiate very soft snow to maintain telephone lines in North America, so it needed a few alterations to survive Antarctica, where there were highs of -40°F and powerful snowdrifts. This included a special anti-freeze engine lubricant, sealing every hole or crevice and lagging the cabin with inch-thick cellular plastics. The expedition involved scientists from Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. It was the first motorized crossing of the continent, and it aimed to carry out a complete physical and scientific survey along the route of the crossing, including recordings of the Earth’s magnetic field and meteorological and glaciological studies. • • • • • #storycars #transantarticexpedition #transantarticaexpedition #tuckersnocat #snocat #tucker743 #snocat743 #conceptcars #conceptcar #classiccars #classiccar #rarecar #rarecars #prototype #prototypes #futurepast ▪️Send an email for credit or removal requests (no copyright intended).
