Winooski Ave near the First Congregational Church shows the Snow King Rotary Snow Loader mounted on Walter Snow Fighter truck loading snow from the street into a 10 cubic yard truck body.

                  • Description: Mar. 18, 1940. This view shows the Snow King Rotary Snow Plow in section mounted on the front of the Street Department's Walter's Snow Fighter Truck in front of the Post Office on Main Street. Note the discharge spout delivering snow over the high side boards of the five cubic yard truck. This loader is capable of loading a five cubic yard load in less than one-half minutes and has frequently loaded one hundred-five cubic yard truck loads of new fallen snow in approximately one and one-half hours working time including delays because of traffic and street intersections clean up.

                    • Date Created: 1950-03-08
                    • Description: Photograph dated Mar. 8, 1950. Original caption reads: "This view shows the horse-drawn sidewalk snow plow unit which has been used by the Street Department for a great number of years. The familiar scene of the horse-drawn unit with the rope tugs and reins and the bell attached to the hames, with the old wooden "V" shape plow oscillating from one side to the other as it is being pulled along the sidewalk and with the hand brake operated by the driver as it proceeds down the hill streets to prevent the plow from going faster than the horse, is fast being displaced by more modern and efficient equipment and will soon be only a remembrance. This unit has served its usefulness and has served well during the days of the "Horse and Buggy" but like many other pieces of equipment it must give way to the demand for more efficient service. "Danny" Bombard, the driver in this picture, has given faithful service to the Street Department for nearly a quarter of a century and has traveled a great many hundreds of miles behind old "Mike" and the wooden plow or a similar unit during many years of service.

                      • Description: ALLIS-CHALMERS, MODEL 1B TRACTOR WITH 16 HP ENGINE EQUIPPED WITH A BAKER "V" TYPE SIDEWALK SNOW PLOW NO. 281420-223V-107. This view shows the No.1 Tractor plow unit plowing snow in Battery Park. Notice the depth of the snowfall which is approximately eight inches. This equipment did not experience any difficulty in plowing this depth, although as you will note in the picture the snow had become frozen and difficult to plow with ordinary horse-drawn plows. This unit removed the snow from three routes formerly requiring the services of three horse-drawn units, the time required being approximately five to six hours depending upon the weather conditions, the gas consumption being approximately four to five gallons per trip. The total distance covered by the entire trip is approximately twenty miles. The specifications of this unit can be found on the back of the original photograph. 1938-1940
