RANSOMES, SIMS & HEAD, IPSWICH. 
ANSOMES, SIMS & HEAD are the oldest manufacturers of Lawn 
B Mowers, their experience in these Machines extending over more than thirty years. 
oa The Automaton Lawn Mowers were brought out in 1867 from entirely new designs 
“ patterns, embodying the latest improvements suggested by long and varied experience. 
rom the universal approbation they have met with, R. 5. & H. can recommend them with 
the greatest confidence. 
b Machine-made Gearing is adopted for communicating motion to the knives, being the 
est and simplest plan far superior to chains or other methods ; 
not liable to get out of order. 
The Cutting Barrels are fitted with the best knives, of rolled steel and iron combined. 
The steel forms the cutting edge and the iron at the back wears away faster than the steel edge, 
thus maintaining a sharp cutting edge much longer than when the knives are entirely of steel, or 
steel both front and back. The pivots and bearings are of hardened steel, so that these 
important parts will last several seasons without requiring repair. 
_ _No Ribs in the Grass are left by these Machines, but a beautiful flat uniform surface 
is obtained, giving the lawn a carpet-like appearance, very far superior to any work which can 
be done with a scythe and at a much less cost. 
All the Grass 1s Collected by these Machines thus obviating the necessity of 
sweeping the Jawn after it 1s cut. ; 
If desired the Cut Grass can be Left on the Lawn by simply removing 
the box in front of the Machine, thus combining the advantages of both the systems of lawn 
mowing before the public. 
THEY ARE EXTREMELY SIMPLE, VERY DURABLE, LICHT IN DRAUCHT, 
AND NOT LIABLE TO CET OUT OF ORDER.
