I don't have any idea where I can find the actual text of the patents. The list came from a patent search server that EDS opened up for free use for a couple of days. Since it just returned the 100 closest matches for my search, I bet that this is not a complete list of all of the kite patents since 1972.

Anyone can get the text for any patent, Simply go to your local University Library reference section with the number of the patent, and the Reference librarian can order it for you for about $3. I've done this several times while doing research on other products. Also for those in the Boston MA area, I believe that the Boston library is a branch of the Library of Congress, and they have or can obtain the text to patents. pete ************************************************************************* Pete McCann | |email: petem@wpi.wpi.edu Grad Student | UNIX System Admin | Advanced Manufacturing | Morgan Construction CO.| Worcester Polytechnic | Worcester, MA USA | ************************************************************************* = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Date: Tue, 15 Feb 1994 15:30:25 -1000 From: andrew@tug.com (Andrew Beattie) Message-Id: Organization: /usr/lib/news/organisation Subject: Re: a list of kite patents kml@sware.com (Kevin Lahey) writes: >I found a list of kite patents since 1972, and thought that >some of you might be interested. hmmm... kite trivia question... Which kite is marked with the patent number for a Cathode Ray Tube? Who can post the correct answer first?
