A patentable way of grass mowing
-
Baudry Bonaert de Laubespin had always excellent ideas to make the work easier.
-
Before we use self-propelled mowers, he had developed this method to mow grass.
-
It was possible not only to divide by two the time of mowing but also let both parts of the body work.
-
Another of his findings was the use of a pole carrying an electric shear to cut the high parts of the hedges.
You will find a photograph of this machine on a further page.
-
If the first invention was not patentable, the second was. Unfortunately, he did not do it.
And now one finds this kind of pole in the shops.
