	Frank Zamboni - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1940, the brothers, along with a cousin, opened the Iceland rink, which proved very popular, in no small part because Frank had devised a way to eliminate rippling caused by the pipes that were laid down to keep the rink frozen.
		The Zamboni company, which has sold over 7000 of its signature machines in its history, is still owned and operated by the Zamboni family, currently by Frank's son and grandson.
		Zamboni is a registered trademark of Frank J. Zamboni and Co. Inc.

	Ice resurfacer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Frank J. Zamboni and Co, Inc. and other companies manufacture ice resurfacing machines, but because of the success of the Frank J. Zamboni and Co, Inc., Zamboni has become a genericized trademark and most people refer to any ice resurfacer as a Zamboni.
		Zamboni's invention led to a great improvement in the speed and quality of ice resurfacing, thereby contributing greatly to the popularity of ice sports today.
		The Zamboni is often run between periods at hockey games and is sometimes accompanied by the song "Zamboni" by the Austin, Minnesota band the Gear Daddies.

	The Zamboni® Story
		Frank J. Zamboni was born on January 16, 1901 in Eureka, Utah.
		Frank's parents moved their family (with one year old Frank in tow) from Eureka to a farm in Idaho, where Frank developed his mechanical skills.
		And the concept of the Zamboni ice resurfacer was born...

	Inventor of the Week: Archive
		Zamboni soon added a domed roof over the rink: the dome helped defend the ice surface from the California sun, but could not prevent everyday defects in the ice, namely the chipping and gouging that inevitably result from use.
		In 1942, Zamboni began to transform a tractor into a unified ice surface scraper and smoother, one that could resurface the ice at one pass.
		Frank Zamboni died in 1988, but as his company looks ahead to its 50th anniversary (1999), the evidence of his success in invention can be seen around the world, from Olympic arenas to neighborhood ice rinks.

	Ice Skating - Paramount Iceland - recreational skating, figure skating and hockey
		Frank and his brother, Lawrence Zamboni, had an ice manufacturing plant in Hynes in the 1930's but with the advent of refrigerators, they decided to build an ice skating rink to replace the potential loss in their ice business.
		Frank's inventiveness became evident when he started experimenting with a refrigerated ice floor very different from the normal type composed of a gridwork of steel piping beneath the ice.
		Frank's idea was to create a flatter and smoother ice sheet by circulating the salt brine in large flat tanks covering the entire area of the ice floor.

		Zamboni redirected his work, but the idea to finish his ice-making machine was never far from his mind.
		The job of a Zamboni is to shave the ice to a depth of one-sixteenth of an inch with a stainless steel blade.
		Zamboni loved the new blueprints, but they were strictly fantasy; the students were disappointed to hear that the designs didn’t allow enough space for ice collection and hot water tanks.

		The Zamboni is the boxy vehicle that slowly runs around in circles as it cleans the ice at skating rinks all over the world.
		In America, where the Zamboni was invented in 1949 by the Frank J. Zamboni Co., both the machine and its drivers have become cultural icons, featured in cartoons, movies, murder mysteries and ballads that portray the drivers as mythic idols or zealous maniacs.
		Zamboni drivers simultaneously perform three operations: scraping away a thin film of ice, picking up the debris and laying down water to create a fine new layer of ice.

		A: Frank J. Zamboni invented the world's first self-propelled ice resurfacing machine and wanted to name his company the Paramount Engineering Company, as he helped to form the Southern California city, Paramount (by bringing together the cities of Hynes and Clearwater) in the late 1940's.
		Frank found that the process of ice resurfacing was labor intensive, and so he began to innovate with various prototypes until the Zamboni Model A ice resurfacer was able to produce a good sheet of ice in the summer of 1949.

		So Frank Zamboni, who lived in Southern California, and his brother and cousin built an ice rink and called it "Iceland." Back then it took more than an hour to make a new ice surface.

		This machine was invented in 1949 in Paramount, California by Frank J. Zamboni when the need for a more efficient way to resurface the ice was needed at their family run Iceland Skating Rink.
		The object of the Zamboni is to produce a clean attractive sheet of ice, control the flatness and thickness of the ice to make the ice surface as best as possible for the players.
		When the zamboni leaves the ice, it drives directly to the snowmelt pit where all the old-shavings are dumped.

		Zamboni used to tell rink owners that "The principal product you have to sell is the ice itself." However the same could be said of his own business since the quality of the resurfaced ice is a major feature of Zamboni’s brand.
		Zamboni was first to market and has been first choice for the pros (skating champ Sonja Henie bought two and the National Hockey League has been using them for the last fifty years).
		Zamboni also instilled guidelines for internal brand management, urging employees to strive to improve the product line at all times, take pride in the products and the company, and insist on quality when the brand name adorns the machine.
