godown Posted July 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Same as leighton`s patent process of 1891 but 1896 is good for Navaree starting up as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 I was trying to play it safe. I thought Navarre was one of Leighton's ventures, so I thought Leighton would cover it. But I guess I don't remember any more. I've been trusting my memory too much and not double-checking -- which has led to quite a few mistakes in recent days.
