[Henry, July 25, 2015.]
In the Henry world, all mowers are reel.
The definition of lawn mower from Webster’s Second :
A machine pushed by hand or drawn by a horse or driven by a motor, and usually with a spiral blade or blades revolving against a tangential horizontal knife, used to clip the grass on lawns.And from Webster’s Third :
a hand-operated or power-operated machine for cutting grass on lawns.*
July 26: Earlier this year, Diane Schirf wrote about the reel mower as an American relic.
