  Polaris
Polaris, Alpha Ursae Minoris, is the bright star closest to the north celestial pole, making it the current north pole star.
At present, Polaris is slightly over 1° away from the pole of rotation and hence revolves around the pole in a small circle about 2° in diameter.
Only twice during every 24 hours does Polaris accurately define the true north azimuth; the rest of the time it is only an approximation and must be corrected using tables.

 Polaris Industries Switches to New Welding Process for Reduction in Spatter, Distortion and Rework | Lincoln Electric
Polaris Industries Inc. turned to the use of Waveform Control Technology™ in the form of Lincoln Electric’s Power Wave® 355M power source and Power Feed™ 10M wire drive and control.
The welding at Polaris is particularly challenging because of the limited weld lengths, two inches or less on most parts, the arc is only on for a brief period of time for each weld and the arc does not have much time to establish itself.
Polaris Industries is currently expanding many of its plants and is building a new facility in Wyoming, Minn. The company’s commitment to quality will ensure the continued growth of technologically advanced welding at all of these manufacturing centers.

 Snowmobile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Polaris Industries in Roseau, Minnesota, in the United States Midwest, was a pioneer in the production of purpose-built snowmobiles.
The relatively dry snow conditions of the United States Midwest made the converted model Ts and other like vehicles not suitable for operation in more humid snow areas such as Southern Quebec.
The industry is also working on direct injected "clean two strokes" which are actually an improvement on carbureted four strokes in terms of NOX emissions.
