PART TWO – Model B Studio ImagesThe
Model B made a significant change from the
Model A.
The Model A was based on the
English Qualcast 16” Power Mower,
a design dating to the 1930s; and that design was looking quite
tired by the 1940s, yet was still being sold well into the 1950s!
The Model B sat much lower and the frame cast a lower,
more modern silhouette. Yes, the wooden handles do look
out-of-place for an otherwise modern, all metal lawnmower –
but there is an explanation for that [see Part Three].
In any case, Morrison commissioned studio photographs of
the Model B and these are held by the
Knowledge Bank, an
initiative of the
Hawke’s Bay Digital Trust.
