SIGNIFICANCE

The late 1952 Victa is recognised as our first gasoline-powered rotary lawnmower.
However, there are some contenders to that title: the Sydney TAD and Grasshopper machines had
petrol lawnmowers within months of the Victa (conceivably before).

The Rota-Cut should also be considered a contender. However, I do not know its manufacturer, or the
origin point of manufacture: was it Sydney or Melbourne?

Any information would certainly be welcome.
