They were the first sue- S \ cessful ball-bearing machines on the market, they have % I the largest sale of any, and their quality has never been I /jf approached by any other manufacturer. & m The dead knife (or cutting blade) is of solid cast steel, I improved shape, and can be regulated to cut the grass from g § to If inches from the ground as desired. § S Perfectly fitting ball cups and cones ensure an easy-running mower and every S detail of construction has been carefully carried out. It is safe to say lhat no I bicycle was ever built with a greater degree of g Perfection in regard to the BaSI Bearings and I Adjustment. I than can be found in this lawn mower. The material used is of superior quality, so that breakage is not likely to occur. It is handsome in appearance, and experience has failed to show where any further improvement can be made or any r= be.tter ball-bearing lawn mower manufactured. The blades—of which there are five—are made of crucible tool steel, the kind '- that is used for chisels, drawing knives, hatchets and all tools requiring a keen edge. These blades are first Hardened in Oil and then Tempered in Water. J A. leading feature of thase machines is that they are all self-sharpening. This is is due to the stationary knife being so constructed, that, as it graduallv wears away, it sharpens both itself and the revolving knives in the process. « Sizes 15, 17, 19 inches.
