PART FOUR - The Catcher & Edger
When the convention for reel/roller machines was metal/wood or metal catchers, the Platypus used fabric.
The patterned canvas catcher would have looked impressive on the showroom floor.



The Edger
I want to include here a unique feature of the Platypus reel mowers.
Offered as an accessory, it was a patented edger that attached to the side frame.
It appears to have been an automated set of shears! [see below].

Platypus Tool Company as Ikea:
It was in research that I discovered something else that Platypus did: Package Furniture.
They sold pre-fabricated garden furniture of timber and steel construction.
