Collectors Comment: Henry Ferguson, nonostante sia il quarto di 11 figli di contadini di origini scozzesi, il 31 dicembre 1909, all’etá di 25 anni, divenne il primo irlandese a costruire e pilotare un aereo. Quest’uomo che veniva soprannominato il meccanico matto ha iniziato riparando biciclette insieme al fratello, inventò anche una moto, una macchina da corsa, la prima monoposto di Formula Uno a quattro ruote motrici e nel 1928 contribuì alle famose gare dell’Ulster Tourist Trophy. Ferguson fondó la propria attività nel 1911 e durante la prima guerra mondiale iniziò a vendere trattori ai contadini irlandesi abituati agli aratri trainati da cavalli, con il concetto rivoluzionario che trattore e aratro dovevano essere progettati come un’unica unità, Ferguson iniziò a registrare i propri brevetti.
