On R.G. LeTourneau’s 75th birthday, Mrs. R.G. surprised her husband with a 108-pound cake. This was no ordinary cake, as it mirrored the Firestone 120x48x68 tires found on the Sno-Train, TC-497, and other LeTourneau machines. The cake was 30 inches in diameters and 14 inches thick, requiring three days to bake. Attached to the enormous tire was his highly successful Electric Wheel.
