From Richard Stanley Legacy Foundation to Steve Amodio in Burkina Faso on Presses December 14, 2006
Subject: response to your report on Burkina Faso...

Richard:Steve,

Steve: We set out to build three pressed I had designed during our initial month of talks. We were grossly inefficient in  spending, but we produced three presses to try out in three villages.

Richard:The press you designed is clever. Thought I'd share a few other designs with you too.

I think it hinges at base to open for briquette release.
