PART THREE - Parts List
I have dated the Manimal as an inter-war design. It probably was first manufactured
in the late 1930s. My Parts List is dated September, 1939 - and it is for the
Mk1 machine [I doubt there was a MK2].

There is a red stamp overlay dated 1/4/1946, that says, "Prices Subject to Increase
of 75% ". It seems pretty clear that this was a pre-war list used post WWII.
Ransomes lawnmowers started arriving in Australia again in about 1946-47.
