figured you canucks might see this on TV... had to plug it since the KRC is part of Michigan Technological Univ and it's my alma mater and Geoff was my room mate my Junior year (he was a graduating Sr before continuing onto his MSME... he's a smart MOFO)...
KRC RESEARCHER FILMED FOR CANADIAN TV: The Keweenaw Research Center is
expected to appear next week on History Television. A crew filmed
Research Scientist I Geoff Gwaltney for a documentary, "The Snowmobile,"
which will air Oct. 14 in Canada as part of the 20-episode series
"Things that Move." The program will overview snowmobile racing,
manufacturing, tourism, history and technology, which is where Gwaltney
comes in. "Pound for pound, a snowmobile is a high-performance machine
compared to a car," he said. "We were the technology angle; that’s how
we dovetailed with the rest of the show. They were interested in the
technologies we use to help snowmobile manufacturers. We are primarily
involved in noise reduction-we consult with industry on how to make the
machines quieter." The center also works with agencies that manage
snowmobile trails, such as the Michigan Department of Natural Resources,
to improve trail grooming. “The Snowmobile” is scheduled to air at 6
p.m. on Friday, Oct. 14. History Television is broadcast in Canada and
is not available on local cable.
