PART TWO

The walk-behind reel mower was huge and, looking at the news photo, would have been 30 or 36 inch.
The poor quality photo did contain sufficient detail and features to conclusively identify the machine.

It was water cooled with a small radiator mounted in front of the large water tank.
The fuel tank is the smaller one behind it. It had various engine controls on the right - throttle,
choke, advance-retard, etc. There was a clutch control wheel on the left.

There was a unique grass box 'delivery apparatus' on the left side, whereby the operator would
hand crank a lever and chain system to empty the catcher. A wash plate would push the grass
sideways and out the side of the catcher - all without leaving the handlebars!

This was a Green's Patent 30in. Motor Lawn Mower.
Here are details of a similar machine from my 1910 Catalogue:-

Was it a Green's too? I then made a lucky, separate discovery.
