Body
Nelson & Johnson Engineering, Inc., have made it possible for operators of boats and recreational vehicles can now use new trash compactor that needs no electrical power. Simulated from the space shuttle orbiter, this device has hand operated ratchets which drive a pressure plate to crush material in the bag liner. Compactor has compressive force of 2,000 pounds, more than ample force to crush cans. Energy-less operation may also attract household kitchen use.
