PART TWO - SpecificationI have a later,
1953 catalogue, in good condition, that I reproduce below.
The
Manimal was of the newer designs that were appearing in the 1930s =
lighter machines; with all-steel welded frames and enclosed chain transmission.
The height of cut was controlled via a turn-knob from the handles. Note the
draught rope and handle. A Transport Carriage and a Whippletree (for animal
draught) were extras.
One single
photo image from that catalogue is of a Manimal at use in
Delhi.
Note the famous
Canopy - a 73-foot cupola - that places this photo close to
the
India Gate war memorial. I'm not good at recognising animals ... it's not a
cat ... I think it is a bullock powering the machine. Note this was a two-man-
one-beast operation. Amazing!
