PART THREE - The Quik Lok - c1962

This system was covered by Patent number 18182 of 1962 and manufactured by
Smithurst & Sons of 84 Crammond Boulevarde, Caringbah.

Similar to the earlier Quick-Change, this system employed a taper to lock blades
quickly in place. Unlike the Quick-Change, this system appears not to have used
any angle of attack (Updraught method). Also, instead of a separate spring retainer,
this system used �safety lugs� built into the proprietary blade shape itself.

Also of note, again, is the limited application � flat blades as used on
toe-cutter bases � the box list covering the early 1960s models � Victa Special,
Standard and Utility; and the early HG Palmer base as well.

We are very fortunate to have these extraordinary 2016 auction images of new-old-stock, boxed
Quick-lok components. Of note is the detail we have of the proprietary blade design.
