Hello ODK history lovers
Roy George Knight [Roy Knight] made a significant contribution to the Scott Bonnar
Company for decades, yet little is known about him.
When member and researcher Max Western posted some Scott Bonnar patents in 2018
alarm bells sounded. Adelaide Scott Bonnar historian, custodian and collector,
Grant Simpson, had sent me a document years� ago that revealed a list of names of
former employees of the firm. The document dates to 2001.
Roy Knight was listed as one of three employees in the Drafting Department: Sid Bowditch,
Roy Knight, and Derrick Lomas. Knight�s patents reflect a broad range of expertise in reel
and rotary designs. Patents range from the early 1960s to the mid-1970s.
This topic remembers Roy�s contribution to this great Australian lawnmower company.
