Hi Gary,
Now that's a neat legacy! Even though they didn't see the wisdom of your 
father's engineering skills, it's still something interesting to be part of 
in the history of photographic equipment.

Nice post, thank you. Always interesting to learn one more bit about our 
wonderful world of photography.
cheers,
ted
