Hello ODK History Lovers

This article will be of interest for lovers of early British power reel mowers.
This is a reproduction of an original article that appeared in the Commercial
Motor Magazine, from July 13, 1926.

The article is titled "Motor Mowers of To-Day: A Brief Review of the Various Types
and Sizes of Power-propelled Grass-cutting Machine on the British Market".

This is not a comprehensive discussion, not does it cover all British manufacturers
of the time, but it is a valuable insight into most of the major (and some minor)
manufacturers of the day.
