Tom Sorry for not responding sooner,

been a real busy fall, receive a video project from Barnhart Crane and Rigging,

grandpa would be proud, plus he would want to tag along on a shoot.

I don't know his role was at Stanley.

I hope maybe if you see his name in your research, you could forward it. Also attached a few pieces.

Happy New

Harrison

Found a nice hidden jewel in my grandfather stuff. A envelope post card from Hawaii. He and grandma went to the Far East in 1917-1918 to Sell Gardford Trucks. He also hold Four patents on the radiator. On the front and back of the envelope contains drawing of radiators cores. I think Hawaii was last stop and being in the tropics he start thinking and drawing about humidity, temperature and stop and go effect on it. His fourth patent was submitted 1920.
