"Druid" Ball Bearing Lawn Mowen 



WITH FOUR REVOLVING KNIVES, DRIVING WHEELS 10 INCHES 

 IN DIAMETER. 



The superiority of B.\LIj BE.\EIXGS is now universally conceded, combining E.-\.SE OF 

 DEAFT with the least possible FRICTION. 



The only requirement being tliat they must be thoroughly made and perfectly hardened. 

 In the " If Rl'lD " Lawn ^lower we offer a machine that in every respect is equal in work- 

 manship to the highest grade bicycle. 



The Revolving Knives run on twenty-eight in. cast steel Balls, 14 at each end. 



The Ball Races and Adjusting Cones are also made from cast steel, and perfectly hardened 

 and ground. As a result, the Mower runs easily, remains in adjustment, and does better 

 work than is possible with parallel bearings which tend to wear out of true and allow " lost 

 motion " to the knives. 



The use of Ball Bearings in a Lawn Mower makes necessary a rigid frame. 



The frame of the " 1>K17I1> " is constructed witli the greatest possible care, and is war- 

 ranted to hold the cutting edges true and in alignment, though subjected to the hardest use. 



In .short, the " DRUID "IiAWN SIOWJEK is designed for a machine of higher grade 

 than has heretofore been attempted, and is offered as the perfection of Lawn Mowing Ma- 

 cliines.

 MOWEB is unsurpassed. 



All of the essential features in best lawn mower construction have been incorpor- 

 ated in the B Al,TI.lI<mE. It has the Patent Rocker Adjusting Journals for the 

 cutting cylinder, compensating for wear upon all sides of the shaft; patent double- 

 bearing, double-toothed Ratchet and Pawl connection, which positively avoid all 

 friction while the Mower is in operation, and thereby causing it to run much easier 

 than any other machines, (with one exception, the "DRUID"). It is made of first- 

 class material and workmanship, and will do the most perfect work. 



THE 



Maryland Regular Mowers, No. 1. 



The Eatchet on this machine 

 is simple and positive, liaving 

 for a pawl a Solid Steel Ball', 

 which w orks in a pocket in the 

 pinion wlien the macliine is 

 not in motion, and by the ac- 

 tion of the pinion "when in 

 motion this ball is thrown 

 into a corresponding pocket, 

 in the back cap, which locks 

 the two together, ttius driving 

 the reel. The CUTTEE B.\R 

 is of solid steel and lias no cast 

 iron parts. The adjustment is 

 from the reel, and is perfectly 

 simple. It is not necessary to 

 turn the mower upside down 

 to adjust it. Having a reel adjustment, the Cutter Bar is bolted firmly to the 

 machine, and therefore holds the mower firmly in line. The Cutter Bar adds 

 strength to the mower instead of weakening it. 



All parts are interchangeable, and In case of wear or breakage, can be at once 

 duplicated. Diameter of Traction Wheel, 8'j inches. Diameter of 'Wheel, 5'j' 

 inches. Made in 12, 14, 16 and 18 inch sizes. Painted in Eed and Green and 

 decorated in Gold.
