PART TWO � Specification and 1950s Brochure
The Certes was certainly a new generation of design. The new thinking was that precision mowers should be lighter �
and that the old idea that mowers should combine cutting and heavy roller functions was abandoned for them.

The Certes made extensive use of new materials and precision manufacturing processes � with die cast
aluminium side frames and landroll, and precision cut gears. The 10-blade reel ran on self-aligning bearings
and cuts per metre was well over the hundred mark.

Note that the front roller was not only micro-adjustable, but had a �counter levelling screw� for perfect alignment.
Note that a transport carriage was recommended (but optional).
