Hello ODK History Lovers

This is a very interesting piece of Victa propaganda: a nicely presented booklet extolling
the virtues of the 2-stroke engine in general, and Victa 2-stroke engines in particular.
It's too much of an expensive publication, I think, for public consumption; so I guess it
was produced for the Dealer Network.

It has a simple message: Two Strokes are better than four Strokes!

I date this booklet to the 1976-77 lawnmowing season. The Victa 160cc Mk4 and 170cc Twin engines
are featured, and the G4 carburettor had just been updated. Clearly, this is before the introduction
of the 85cc Lightweight engine for the 1977-78 season.

Twenty-one pages of living sepia-tone, this booklet acts as an apology for the superiority of
the two cycle design. But that's really just propaganda: facts, figures, graphs, and statistics
... they all can be made to fit a line of persuasive marketing blurb. Victa were masters at it!

It's 'other things', however, I found most interesting in this great publication.
