PART EIGHT - Live Long & Prosper

I have argued here that the New Moon was our first Power Lawnmower, and I have dated
its introduction to 1924 because that is the patent date. Advertisements for the New Moon
start at 1925.

The New Moon machine - it would appear - beat the great firm of Scott Bonnar in
producing our first power mower: but not by much.

Unless new information comes forward, we're not likely to know what happened to force
the closure of P.F. Lark's company.

I do know, though, that Prosper Frederick Lark lived to the grand old age of ... 100!
A search of death notices revealed that Prosper died on 11 September, 1987.

Live long and Prosper!
