PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK— LAWN MOWERS, ETC.
The New Improved Henderson Horse Lawn Mower.
IT IS A HORSE LAWN MOWER AND ROLLER COMBINED
We consider this to be the best horse power Lawn Mower on the market. It is simple in construction and very durable, the
best steel and iron being used in its manufacture, and it is finished in the most perfect manner.
A lever beside the driver enables him to cut grass any height, high or low from the ground and to easily and quickly raise the
blades over stones or other obstruction without stopping the horse or leaving his seat. A slight movement of a small lever
throws the mower in or out of gear without stopping. The side draft rod is attached to the left side of the mower keeping the
horse on the cut grass, and preventing the trampling down of the grass which is to be cut. The revolving knives, five in num-
ber, are "high speeded," making a continuous cut and leaving the surface of the lawn as smooth as velvet. The rollers, three
in number, 15 inches in diameter, with triple pawls in each roll make the most powerful and instantaneous drawing mechanism
e ver put in a lawn mower. This feature maintains the motion of the blades even when turning sharp corners, a great advantage
over other double roll mowers whose knives have no motion when turning corners. The self-aligning journal boxes are a very
valuable improvement and prevent cramping of the journals, a very common and dangerous fault in many horse mowers. The
foot rest is spacious and prevents cramping of limbs and accidents
through the feet slipping into the revolving cutters.
These mowers will weigh, including shafts and driver, 600 to 700
pounds, thereby rolling the lawn at the same time it is cutting;
or the cutter may be thrown out of gear, and the machine used
for rolling alone.

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.


This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
