NEMES Monthly Meeting
August 2008
There was another event going on at the museum before our meeting and one of the
attendees to that event owned this Smart car. He let me sit in it and it
was very comfortable, comparable to my 1997 Ford Escort wagon but when you look
over your shoulder THERE AIN'T NOTHING THERE!!!!! Still he says he gets
45mpg or better on the highway so it may be worth considering. My Escort
has 258.000 miles on it and won't last forever.

President Dick Boucher starts the meeting
Our speaker, Richard Baker, is a patent agent and presented a very interesting
talk about the patent process and the history of patents and the use of patent
models.
Informational links about patents
NEMES member Frank Hills brought two visitors with him. One of them Bill
Shirtcliff showed off this beautiful model motorcycle. Maybe six
or eight inches long it was a real work of art. The other fellow was Clay
Lennartz of Palace Manufacturing in Billerica. Thanks for visiting our
group guys.
