Hello ODK History Lovers

Thomas Jutson Edwards (1889-1962) of No.8 Bonfield Avenue, Hawthorn, Victoria was the Patent
Applicant and Actual Inventor of the lawnmower that would become known as the Rexmow.

The Rexmow was an Australian push-mower ('pushie') manufactured from 1932 until the mid-1950s.
Its production life is significant in spanning a quarter of a century, and in that time, only
had minor changes to the design. This is an historically important vintage lawnmower.

A tubular-steel handle was fitted from the early 1950s; it would appear that rubber tyres were being
fitted prior to the ceasing of all lawnmower production in Australia for the war effort. The last
records I have are from early 1941. Manufacturing and sales would continue post-war from 1947.

This is a significant, extended article on this Australian designed and built lawnmower because of
its unique feature: its setting mechanism. Covered by Australian and American patents, this machine
discarded the need for set screws, and kept automatic set adjustment by means of a set of springs
located on one side of the lawnmower.
