The wooden cabin was completely enclosed and the whole structure was quite large. During the next few years he developed a steel body to replace the wooden one an this paved the way for production of snowmobiles in much larger numbers.

The first really large-scale productions of snowmobiles came during the Second World War when the Canadian army want3d a machine to use against the Nazis in the snows of Norway. In 1942, the same year that he demonstrated his all-terrain vehicle to the army
