PHOTO RECORD

The clear limitation of the EMU was not in its poor safety (the open top would not contain solid object projectiles),
but in its attempt to catch grass from lawn mower bases not designed to collect grass. The flat,
skirtless bases that were popular in the early 1950s would ultimately give way to skirted bases.
It would only be through better base design that grass could be efficiently collected.
