I grew up with reel-style mowers, as they were the only kind that my father would have any truck with. Ours had forward throw, with the catcher on the front and a roller behind, just as in the model. The catcher was essential, as without it it I would be constantly picking up the grass that I had just mown, which was a compounding problem. Our first mower was a manual push one, and this was replaced by a motorised "Atco", with a nice little Villiers engine perched on top. This also propelled the mower, which was nice.
