Hello ODK History Lovers

I have found an excellent 1971 article from the now defunct British magazine Old Motor that is
well worth making available to vintage lawnmower enthusiasts. Written by Kevin Desmond at a time
when there was little available in print on mowers, this article explores the history of the
lawnmower from a British perspective. A good read!
