G'day
Mystyler and all papal people
My parents first power mower was a Pope, and I have
admired them ever sense. [both parents and their mowers]
Pope were the first to use the deep pressing on the base.
Other makers took a while to realise that taller skirts led to
better cutting and catching efficiency.
Out of all the big names in the day, only Pope never made
a high-arch lawnmower! Reason: no need to.
The thing that stands out for me was the early use of a
true front and back double-skirt. Notice how these inner skirts
protect feet at front and rear of the mower. How many other
companies did that at that time!?
Cheers and thanks-------------------------------
