PART TWO – The Inventor
It was a chance find of a quality image on a 2013 auction sale
that gave me patent numbers to research the inventor of the
Cambridge push mower.



The surprise was that the Cambridge mower was an
interwar design invented by … a New Zealand sheep farmer …
and his name should be recorded – Allan Steward Cambridge.

Patent 104118 – Accepted May, 1938.
Patent 104841 – Accepted August, 1938.
Patent 108996 – Accepted November, 1939.

The two first patents are relevant to the first Cambridge
mowers sold here. The last patent is relevant to the later
Cambridge mowers sold here.
