SIGNIFICANCE - VICTA 14" REEL:The 14" has largely been forgotten to history.
The frequency of advertising suggests that Mervyn Richardson was well-and-truly
selling lawnmowers for a couple of years prior to his first Rotomo.
This fact also impacts on the significance of
Lawrence Hall's 1948 Mohall in
influencing Richardson (so the story goes). But that's another story.
Here is the only other photograph I have of the little Victa 14".
It's a factory shot from the 1970s. The machine is clearly the same one as depicted above.
