THE LATEST AND BEST CHAIN MACHINE. FITTED EQUAL TO A HIGH-GRADE BICYCLE 



TESTIMONIAL FROM 



J. OWDEN O'BRIEN, Esq., 



M.I.M.E. 



March 21st, 189S. 



Gentlemen,— I have now 



had one of your 12 in. Chain- 

 beared Lawn Mowing Machines for some time, 

 and have personally tested it. I find it much easier 

 to work, i.e., takes less exertion or power to 

 drive, than many others I have tried. I got several 

 working or practical gardeners to try it, who expressed 

 the same opinion as to its superiority and ease of work- 

 ing. I have also examined the machine, and consider, 

 from a mechanical point of view, that the construction 

 and arrangements of the parts are first rate, especially 

 in reference to adjustment of the cutting and the 

 tightening of the driving chain, by which, while setting 

 of the parts is rendered particularly easy, the back and 

 front rollers are always maintained parallel with the 

 cutting cylinder without the exercise of any mechani- 

 cal skill on the part of the operator. 



To Messrs. FOLLOWS and BATE, Limited, Gorton, Manchester.
