Hi Paul and Mowerfreak

I think the Bob Davies story at least gave a glimpse of an 'underdog'
company - and its owner - that took on the big end of town.

I do feel it was new capital - from Wiltshire - that gave us a very good
engine in the BMS 10 in the late 1950s.

Boundy advertising proclaimed they had 1,000 new owners a week in late 1958.
[Of course, Victa had 10 times that!].

I'm not convinced the Boundy engine offered any real advantage at all.
In fact, it would be easy to argue that a heavier crankshaft would mean
poorer governor response - on rotary lawnmower engines often subjected to
irregular spike loading.

But that misses the point: Boundy dared to be different. That's what I like.
And at such an exciting time in rotary mower development!

Thanks again Paul for showings us the inner workings of an early John Boundy engine.
I might also add, that your images are of first rank in composition. The gallery images
tell a great story. My favourites: Images 1, 2, and 5. Calendar material for tragics like me smile

Cheers
