Yesterday, the twelve hundredth page of evidence was typed, and the number of exhibits produced reached 265. Pyramid Machines, Ltd., is claiming £55,623 from W. H. Price and Son, Ltd., alleging breach of contract in the manufacture and development of the Pyramid mower. Price and Son, Ltd., is counter-claiming for £33,227, or, alternatively, £49,827. Turnbull said he had started work at Price’s in November, 1954, and had graduated B.E. from the University of New Zealand in May, 1955. At Price’s, he worked under the direction of Fraemohs, the works manager. Turnbull traced the history of his association with the mower project, and the part he played in its technical development. His evidence in chief had not been completed when the hearing was adjourned yesterday afternoon.
