Horse Lawn Mower . . 
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 contiol 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. 
All machines are fitted complete with Tool Box , Seat, 
Handles , Shafts and Side-bar Attachment which keeps the 
horse on the cut grass.
