Barrie,
Thanks for the note. Could be interesting. Haven’t seen the drawings yet, but the basic concept sounds as if it might have possibilities. It will depend on keeping the price down of course. Bit worried about those rods. Might make the packaging a bit bulky, unless they could be made in sections perhaps. (Home assembly, maybe?). I like the sound of the unpowered option. Incidentally, your new graduate sounds good, maybe you could introduce me on my next ‘meet the people walkabout’.
I’m forwarding a copy of your memo to John and Sally for comments.
I had an idea for a name, by the way, how about calling it a ‘To - n - fro’?
