Hello ODK History Lovers

Along time ago, in a galaxy far away, I started researching the history of Australian lawnmowers.
I soon came to realize that the 'authorities' had no idea about even the most basic questions:
When did we start making our own lawnmowers? Who made our first powered lawnmower? Who made our
first rotary lawnmower? I could find no answers.

In fact, I found much obfuscation ... propagated myths and hearsay claiming all sorts of nonsense.
Much has been lost...

In this Post I would like to focus on our first Australian-made rotary mower - the little
Tecnico Electric of 1948 and its subsequent development. The Tecnico Electric was released in
late 1948 and would be the best selling of the half-dozen or so Australian brands that would
shortly follow; and all of this prior to the first Victa rotary of late 1952. This pre-Victa
story of the Australian rotary has been all but forgotten.
