Sno-Ka-tol-o-gee, The study of Snow Cats.
In order to get a Degree in Snow-Trac-ology, a branch of 'Snowcatology' one would want to first get a good foundation in mechanical engineering and engine design. These guys, Henry Royce, & Charles Rolls wrote the book on automotive engine design. Your car, regardless of make, and yes your snow cat all have a bit of R R engineering in them. Rolls designed GM's 350 engine, invented Caster Steering, Synchromesh transmission, and Sodium Filled Valves. Every engine manufacturer, Ford, Chrysler, GM, Detroit, Cummings, Caterpillar,... right on down to Briggs & Stratton have a bit of Rolls Royce design and engineering in them. They really did "Write the Book" on both recriprocating engine design as well as Jet Engine Technology.
