This Swedish firm originated in 1682 as gun makers and later made their name as sewing machine manufacturers.

This had a metal pole handle with the crosspiece consisting of a "vee with knobs on". In the 1990s the company introduced a flat solar powered mower which, once set up, needed no human guidance.
