I would think that it may be the narrow strip of uncut grass that the mower would leave behind down the middle of each pass.

Jeff-

That got me to thinking where I got the patent infringement notion from, and I went to my library and found the reference in a Duffy Livingstone interview in the June 2000 issue of Karter News. But he'd also stated that's what he had heard, so it was probably based on hearsay.
