- Description:
- Color postcard depicting an auto in a flooded landscape. One man sits at the wheel while two others stand. Printed on verso: Photographers are enthusiasts - at least Krohn, who accompanied the E-M-F Pathfinder was. Also he was popular with the crew-that's why he was able to induce them to look pleasant under circumstances depicted in the photograph. Just after a Kansas cloud-burst the streams became torrents and the experience of fording them was not soon to be forgotten. Meinzinger says E-M-F "30" reveled in it, for it was the first time her underworks had been thoroughly cleansed of the clinging Wisconsin clay and Iowa gumbo.

- Description:
- Color postcard depicting an auto parked before a washed-out road, while the driver stands alongside. Printed on verso: A river to cross - a raging torrent after a Kansas thunderstorm - and no bridge. A stop; a photograph to prove it; a plunge and the sturdy waterproof E-M-F "30" rushed her passengers over in a twinkling. Water was two feet deep, but it didn't reach the carburetor or magneto - Meinzinger says he knows now how the Israelites crossed the Red Sea dry shod - they rushed it so the water had to pile up on either side and didn't get back until they were on the other bank.
