PART FOUR – The Cambridge Made in Australia
So, how did a New Zealand lawnmower design get to be
made and sold by various agencies throughout Australia?

Of course, this is speculative but I think this is how events unfolded: -

The inventor, Allan Cambridge, formed a company with one
Alfred Hubero and that company was registered on 16 September,
1940. The factory was located at 5 Chisholm Street, Darlinghurst.
The company would be the Cambridge Lawnmower Company.

The thing is that a Queensland company was advertising the
Cambridge mower for sale two months before company registration.
That company was Queensland Pastoral Supplies [QPS].

I mention that fact because I feel there was some special
relationship between the newly formed Cambridge company
and the Queensland agent.

This might explain why QPS was an extensive advertiser
for the Cambridge push mower, and might explain how QPS
came to make a powered version of the push reel mower and
also had a rotary mower under the Cambridge brand
[see Related Reading].
