Summary[edit]

Description

The HENDERSON
SELF-ADJUSTING
BALL-BEARING
The revolving knives appear to be reversed
to "push cut" mowers. We have proven our
"draw cut principal far better. Read why.
LAWN MOWER.
The King of Lawn Mowers.
LIGHT RUNNING. NOISELESS— DURABLE— SELF
ADJUSTING. DRAW CUT. ALWAYS SHARP.
DOES NOT PULL THE GRASS.
Leaves the Lawn Smooth and Free from Corrugation.
THE HENDERSON BALL-BEARING LAWN MO-
WER is made without regard to cost — to be the best,
most durable, and the easiest-working Mower o n the
market, and while the prices are necessarily a little higher
than those of Mowers simply made to sell, yet in the end
our Mower will prove much cheaper, aside from annoying
delays and repairs experienced with cheap Mowers. It
is superior to\all other Mowers in the following respects;
the axles of the revolvingcutter, like the axles of a bicycle,
work in self-adjusting "ball-bearing" journal boxes or
cups, whichreduces the friction enormously. The Moweris
also built scientifically correct in other respects. The
" drawcut " principle corrects the defect in ' push cut "
Lawn Mowers, and completely reverses the old way of
cutting the grass. The grass is drawn across the sharp
edge of the Stationery Knife, which is the cutting knife,
and is severed most easily. (See illustration.)
It causes the mower to operate much more easily. It
prevents the mower from "bobbing up " in the rear
thus ensuring an even cut. The heavier the grass, the
closer the mower clings to the turf. It makes the mower
self-sharpening; the drawing of the wiper blades across
the edge of the stationery knife keeps it always sharp and
prevents gouging. Where the "push cut " style of
mower requires " sharpening " a dozen times, the Hender-
son Bali-Bearing " drawcut " mower will not need it once.
It is a strictly^a high class Mower, made from the highest
quality of iron and steel. The castings are lathe-turned
and bored, and the journals machine-trimmed, which
insures trueness in fitting and smoothness in working, with
no irregularities to wear off and leave rattle and play.
We have so simplified the adjustments in our new Bail-
Bearing Mower that even those ignorant of mechanics
will have no trouble in always keeping our Mower in fine
cutting order for years and the lawn in uninjured condi-
tion.
THE HENDERSON BALL-BEARING MOWER has
high drive wheels, large, open non-clogging cylinder.
The spiral of the knives is correctly proportioned to give
a continuous cut, leaving the lawn as smooth as if shaved
entirely free from the corrugated surface left by other
Mowers. The handles are braced and reinforced to pre-
vent twisting and breaking when one side of the Mower
is held off the ground, and besides the handle is equipped
with improved " grips " which keeps the hands in a na-
tural position, gives more power, and is less tiresome than
a continued grasp, with wrists twisted, on a horizontal
grip.

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.


This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
