This small bi-fold brochure is best viewed as two panels.

As always, I make this brochure available to members for
viewing or as a quality download.

This document is pocket-sized - in every sense of the word.
Designed to fit into a salesman"s pocket, I guess it was whipped
out at the appropriate moment when folks traded-in their old mowers.

Note how value is now expressed in dollars and cents; being an early
guide published just after decimal currency was introduced to Australia.

As always, I make this scan available for personal use to
Members. Perhaps your old mower is listed here?

Hello ODK History Lovers

A recent article by Mod Alan M has given us another layer of intrigue.

A New Zealand inventor had produced a reel design with a serious and clever spin
on the double helix - a single spiral producing a change of direction; rather than the
more complicated double spiral to change grass throw direction.

This must be original; and it deserves historical recording.

This catalogue is in very good condition - but with one problem - it's missing 4 pages (pp 17-20).
I reproduce this catalogue as a pdf for personal use by Registered Members.

Patent 30055 of 1949 was applied for in September of 1949 -
about the same time the Roto Trimmer went on sale. The patent is a good
summary of the features and advancement on previous designs.

The inventor Patrick Joseph Manley gives an interesting address in
the patent: 36-40 Parramatta Road, Camperdown, Sydney. That would prove a
clue to the identity of the actual manufacturer. A well-known lawnmower
manufacturer was just a few lots away ...

Its lightweight construction, direct drive, adjustable angles, and safety
features all pointed to economy, safety, and ease of use.
