States that "the first powered rotary mower was developed by Power Specialities Ltd. [Limited] of Slough, England, [United Kingdom]" and the "first underground pop-up sprinkler head...[was] developed by the Thompson Company in California." Concludes that "at the time [these contributions] were developed or invented [they] were very major advances in improving the quality and lowering the cost of turfgrass maintenance." |
