Wright Horizontal Steam Engine, circa 1876
- Chadborn & Coldwell Lawn Mower, 1880-1890 - Lawns require regular maintenance. First patented in the United States in 1868, cylinder- or reel-type mowers became an enduring, affordable option for anyone with a small lawn. The basic form consisted of blades that rotated around a horizontal axis, cutting the grass as the user pushed the machine. This model featured a roller attachment to even lawn surfaces (for example, smoothing mole runs) as it mowed.
