PART SEVEN - The Ransomes-Hahn Tournament Triplex
This machine deserves a separate posting; because it was such a significant
'game-changer'. Ransomes original powered triplex greens mower was the
Overgreen (c1930s), based on an American Worthington (c1920s).

The same thing occurred decades' later when Ransomes marketed the Hahn Triple
as a Ransomes-Hahn Tournament Triplex outside of the USA and Canada.
This is a significant machine, in that it is a pioneer in professional golf
mowing equipment.

With hydrostatic drive and hydraulic lift, it used three electric clutches
to engage the cutting heads, and cable drive to power them. It had belt drive
in the cutter units. A most unusual arrangement! It was a big seller for clubs
who could afford to abandon the then ubiquitous single unit pedestrian machines.
