Title: 1940's electric lawnmower
Post by: Richard230 on March 17, 2017, 08:02:04 PM

A friend that I ride with, who lived in Germany at the time, just sent me this photo of him in 1957 mowing his parents lawn with a 1940's-era electric lawnmower.  I thought it was kind of neat and looked like it would keep cutting for many more years. :)

So cute! Now he is an old man and uses a gasoline lawnmower. Maybe the one which you are sitting on and grasping a steering wheel...

In the old times of the young 20th century, there have also been electric agricultural tractors used somewhere in the Soviet area, Ukraine or so. No battery though, but a very long mains cable...
