I worked with bernard in the mid to late 1960s. He was an amazing person. Visited the family home on the foreshore of South Perth. He was a steam freak. He was the worst chain-smoker I have ever met. His father developed early automatation for movie and drive-in theatres. They were a family of great inventors.Where are you now? My email- robinhornby@yahoo.com
