    Belonging to this class are the lawn mowing machines: those with Kennans' registered tilt action delivery are ingenious; by these the cut grass can be easily transferred from the ordinary box in front of the cutters to a large receiver placed behind the metal rollers: this receiver can either be removed from the machine or overset when it is to be emptied.
