[BC] Gray Tone Arms Patent link

[Milton R. Holladay Jr.]

The grease was right on the edge of liquid and solid ( depending on
temperature, I suspect. Somewhat thicker than STP, even.)
I had a 12" Japanese knock-off  by the name of Rystyl (sp?) which was
actually nicer than the 12' Grays.
Still lookung for a nice 108B..........
