The story of Emmitt Tucker,
Medford inventor and creator of
the famed Tucker Sno-Cat, is
told in the January issue of Me
chanix Illustrated.
"Cats That Walk on Snow" by
Montgomery M. Atwater covers
four pages of the magazine. It

the Sno-Cat's accomplishments,
Including the 1952 rescue of the
Southern Pacific train City of
'San Francisco, and its load of
passengers, and the Sno-Cat's
triumph at a "come-one, come
all" field trial for over-snow,
vehicles at Sun Valley, Idaho, in
1950..
Many of Tucker's snow ve
hicles have been shipped over
seas. Tucker and his sons built
eight snowcruisers for the Ant
arctic expedition. The Tucker
Sno-Cat Corp. .is located on Pa
cific highway between Medford
