Hello
ODK members,
The
VICTA VAC has been an enduring and successful product,
appearing in their catalogues for over four decades.
It is in their current line-up and the petrol version retails for over $2,000!
When I was researching I came across a couple of ads for a
Litter-Vac,
"Designed and Manufactured" by Sydney's
Alex Grahame Pty. Ltd.[I have written about Alex Grahame elsewhere on these forums]
The thing is, it looks remarkably similar - if not identical - to the Victa Vac,
and it was "Designed and Manufactured" a decade or more before the Victa product.
My conclusion: Victa bought the licence or copied the Alex Grahame machine because
of no patent restrictions.
All very interesting.
