Outstanding among Planet Junior products are Planetized Steels. This ‘planetizing’ is a series of processes, hardening and tempering processes, which produces a steel of hard wearing qualities. Three variations of the double wheel Planet Jr hoe are found in the 1944 catalogue, each with the same frame but with different sets of attachments. This hoe is therefore type no. 11. This hoe was originally purchased in a sale and given to Mr Clark, the donor.
