[Gasification] BRUSH ENERGY

[Thomas Reed]

Jim

So far my adopted grandson, Shivayam Ellis,  has been making my BrushSaw attachment, and he is my co inventor on the patent.  He has a website, ONECUT?, or similar.  You two should meet, being very clever and congenial.

I'll bring you one when I come to your Berkeley workshop...
