PART FIVE - The 12 Inch Tecnico - c1951

Tecnico expanded the range to a second model from the 1951-52 lawnmowing season. Surprisingly,
this larger 12 inch model was not a simple scaled-up model of the 10" machine. It had an alloy
base with a new look. It sort of looked like a floor dwelling sea creature with a Rocketeer
space helmet ...

At this time, the 10 inch model was also upgraded; both stylistically and in features, including
a new motor specification. I am unsure of what other upgrades occurred, but advertising suggested
several changes. Heavy advertising continued. Note the considerable rise in retail price.
