Berto's Research
Berto couldn't get to the last TTTG meeting. He sent his apologies and was obviously disappointed.
Berto asked the convener to ask the audience to assist him with his research into Australian made portable power tools.
I was hoping you might be able to ask the group something for me.
As part of my research project I had planned to interview people connected in some way with Austraian made power tools and I have received my ethical clearance to conduct these interviews. I would be very interested in interviewing anyone who;
1. Worked for any of the power tool companies in any capacity (Black and Decker, Sher, Jamec, Lightburn, KBC)
2. Owns an Australian made power tool, such as Leonard Traynor's interesting story in the recent TTTG newsletter.
3. Collects power tools.
The interview will be recorded.

Terry Butcher has sent a long letter to Berto containing a great amount of information relating to Australian made power tools.
John Daniel has had an interesting find relating to these tools.
I have found a jig-saw attachment for a portable drill. In the light of the focus on Australian made portable drills, I thought that these photos may be of some interest. Perhaps not an Australian made attachment however could have been included in a package deal.
When Berto attends another TTTG meeting he will be given some power tools donated by members.
