For those of you with an urge for still more Zamboni History might
want to check out the article entitled _You're an Old Smoothie_ by
Leigh Montville in the 30 March, 1987 issue of Sports Illustrated.
Letters-to-the-Editor in follow-up to this article included one from
the curator of the US Hockey Hall of Fame with an accompanying photo of
Zamboni No. 4, now on display at the Hall of Fame.  It's basically an
ice hopper mounted above a WWII surplus jeep, complete with WILLYS
emblazoned on the fender !!  There's probably wooden scoops on a long
endless chain as well - it's hard to tell from the picture.  As another
letter writer put it: _According to Charlie Brown, there are three things
you can't help but stare at: a babbling brook, a crackling fire and a
Zamboni cleaning the ice_.
