Samuelson - Registered Design No 3315
Samuelson & Co of Banbury registered a design "For The Shape Or Configuration Of The Front Part Of A Buddings' Lawn Mower" which incorporated small castors to the front of the cutting mechanism.
The concept was approved on 2 July 1852 as Registered Design No 3315. This was precisely six months after John Ferrabee had registered a similar improvement under Registered Design No 3074, dated 2 January 1852.
