Reply to Doug Rhodes, re 'condom' bellows for cuckoo movement.

Doug,  Your description of the bellows for the cuckoo is totally appro-
priate!!!  There is a guy in California who, once upon a time, had that
type of bellow reproduced.  My mind is confused (Ha!) between remembering
two people's names...  Which was it, now??  I believe it was:

  Dick Rigg
  400 Keen Dr.
  La Habra CA 90631
  tel 714-526-1928

If it wasn't Dick, it was:

  Robin Biggins
  6514 Verde Ridge Rd.
  Rancho Palos Verdes CA  90275-4632
  tel 310-377-1472

My money's on Dick, though!

 [ Editor's note:

 [ Since I live nearby I phoned both the gentlemen.  Dick Rigg was not
 [ at home, but Robin Biggins said it was Rigg who made the replacements.
 [
 [ Robin told me that they are still a bit stiffer than the original,
 [ and he suggested trying an actual condom!  He said that you have
 [ to cut only the little paddle board.
 [
 [ Thanks, Nancy, for the profitable referrals!  (Your memory is still
 [ alive and well !  :)
