[CW] OT: Small Nut Starter

[David J. J. Ring, Jr.]

If you built electronic kits while growing up, especially those marketed by
HeathKit, chances are you used a small plastic too called a Nut Starter. Did
you know HeathKit  did not manufacture the Nut Starter? A young man named
John Brake sold tools to HeathKit, one of which was the erstwhile Nut
Starter. So what happened to John Brake? And the little tool that
could'''and still does? John is CEO of Desko Industries Inc. in Chino,
California. RAIN'S Hap Holly, KC9RP, caught up to John to piece together the
Nut Starter story.
