THE TOWNSEND. 



We consider this the most perfectly constructed Horse 

 Lawn Mower on the market. Triple rolls with triple pawls 

 in each roll, making the most powerful and instantaneous, 

 driving mechanism ever put in a lawn mower. Unlike other 

 mowers, the motion of the blades is maintained even when 

 turning sharp corners. The height of cut and motion of 

 knives is under perfect control of the driver from his seat, and! 

 the large rolls (15 inches in diameter) ensure great power and 

 ease of movement. The self-aligning journal boxes will be; 

 found in this mower only, and prevent cramping, a very- 

 common fault in Horse Lawn Mowers.
