G'day vint-mow and Gizmo
This topic has proven quite rewarding - in recording a second HG Kirby 4-stroke
on a HG utility base. I find HG Palmer a most interesting story - of a mass
merchandiser that expanded too quickly. I love Gizmo's images of HG products ...
they put their name on every electrical appliance.
I note that Gizmo's mower has the new Tecumseh recoil.
These would be used extensively on Kirby-Tecumseh and Tecumseh engines.
This conforms with the 1964 advertisement.
Impulse (wind-up) starters would remain the main starter in the 1960s.
