      WSO is just part of Stadeli’s name, WSO Stadeli. They were a swiss manufacturer and even have some detachables over in Europe.

      One could argue that Murray-Latta could have sued Riblet for their designs. Hall and Thiokol also have some very similar designs for both towers and chairs.

    I thought that too. If they didn´t, they should have. Stadeli had it first.
