    I saw this strange device being demonstrated by its enthusiastic inventor at the Windsor IOG / Saltex show in 1981. I think probably best summed up as “a good idea at the time – maybe”?

    EDIT
    Would seem that the company / product didn’t last long.

    That is amazing that one has survived, well worth preserving. I wonder who patented it?
