PART EIGHT - OTHER FEATURES
The Mohall was totally inappropriate for a domestic lawnmower design,
grossly overweight, it required considerable effort to push it - and
lift it - and the engine was unsuitable for any lightweight lawnmower.
Just have a look at the water tank and magneto.

But there is another interesting feature that seems to have gone
unrecognised ... the Mohall was, at some point, fitted with a snorkel
air cleaner [via a rubber hose connecting to the RH side, tubular
handle bar, with air intake at the handle grip.

Given that Merv had a snorkel patent of 1955, it is quite possible he was
influenced by the Mohall. The snorkel idea seems to have originated from
earlier automotive patents.
