PERFORMANCE TESTING OF AN AUTOMATIC SNOW LEVELER.
A modified Gurries Automatic Road Builder was tested at the Keweenaw Field Station, Houghton, Michigan and in Greenland to determine its feasibility for leveling snow and producing trafficable snow surfaces, such as roads and runways in deep snow areas. The unit, a tow-type, hydraulically controlled...
