THE NEW “ ROTOSCYTHE ” POWER LAWN MOWERS. 
A REVOLUTION 
IN LAWN MOWING 
PRACTICE 
THE ROTOSCYTHE 
Works Like a Vacuum 
Cleaner. 
No gears—no chains. 
A simple, efficient machine on an entirely new principle for all suburban lawns, 
fowling greens and golf courses. 
The ROTOSCYTHE has been developed to overcome the complications and 
disadvantages of the old type lawn mowers. Modern developments in design and 
materials have been applied, and coupled with the latest high-class engineering 
methods, enable it to be produced at an exceptionally low price. Efficiency, lightness 
and simplicity have been the important considerations, giving it the following 
advantages: 
Effortless and safe operation. All working parts totally enclosed. Grass, 
(eaves, twigs, etc., collected bv suction. Levels surface of lawn with less rolling. 
Will cut closer than old type machines. Low running costs. 
No complicated chains, gears or clutches. Instant adjustment for depth of 
cut. Cuts in both backward and forward directions. Any length of grass can be cut. 
Perfect cutting condition always maintained. Easily cleaned. 
Self-propulsion is unnecessary owing to the extreme lightness of the complete 
unit. Ease of operation and handling are thus reduced to the limit of simplicity. 
All motors are fully protected from water and can be run in any weather 
conditions 
Grass collected by suction in large, easily-handled basket, instantly detachable. 
Cutters can be renewed in a few minutes, and when this is done the machine 
is as efficient at the end of the season as at the beginning. No expensive overhauls 
are necessary, the cutters being replaceable at trifling cost. 
British made throughout and all parts interchangeable. It takes all the 
drudgery out of lawn mowing and leaves a beautiful surface. Ask for a demonstration 
on your own lawn. E.
