😮1950s Rolligon Truck😮 In 1950 on a fishing trip in Alaska, William Albee noticed villagers moving a heavily wooded boat up a muddy bank using rolling balloons. But upon further inspection, Albee found out they were using inflated seal skins to roll the ship up with hill with minimal effort for such a mighty task. Albee then returned to his home in Monterrey, California, where he took the idea used by the natives to produce the first Low-Pressure Off-Road tire and then created vehicles that used this new tire technology under the name Albee Rolligon Co. The tires had to be made using fabric and rubber, making them conquer any terrain you put in front of it. Because of the material used and the low pressure, the tires absorb bumps and things rather than the tire going over them. A perfect example is when a 5-ton Rolligon truck runs over its creator William Albee in this 1950’s footage of one of the Army adaptations of the Rolligon, and he gets up entirely unharmed. • • www.story-cars.com • • #storycars #rolligontruck #rolligon #truck #invention #engineering #conceptcar #classiccar #rarecar #prototype #obscurecar #drivevintage #vintagecar #carpage ▪️Send an email for credit or removal requests (no copyright intended).
