00:00So why is Caterpillar named Caterpillar? That's the story behind it.
00:04From the late 1890s, Benjamin Holt was looking for ways to improve the performance of steam tractors,
00:10and in 1904, Holt came up with the very first successful track-type tractor prototype,
00:16but that's only the beginning of the story.
00:18During a demonstration in England the same year,
00:21a British soldier admiring the invention approached Holt and told him,
00:25your machine moves like a caterpillar.
00:28This would be the start of something that would change the world forever.
00:33Recognizing the marketing potential of the name,
00:36Holt began referring to his crawler tractors as Caterpillar tractors.
00:40The name quickly caught on and became synonymous with the machines,
00:44as two men were about to make history.
00:47In 1925, Holt Manufacturing Company merged with the CL Best Tractor Company,
00:52and when time came to pick a name, nothing sounded better than Caterpillar.
00:56And so a random name in a dictionary simply became the largest machinery brand ever.
