PART TWO - Patent 8359 of 1955

The patent is short and well worth reading.
It seems obvious now, but a remote air intake was quite novel
for a lawnmower in the 1950s. I might add that Australia, with
often dry conditions, and short cut preferences, was the perfect
place to understand the advantages of reducing dirt particle
ingress for prolonged engine life. Merv saw and understood this!
