Pantograph Cutting Torch
Bill often spoke about designing a pantograph style flame cutting table that could cut hundreds of stacked sheets of sheet metal using a unique clamping system that employed a set of bellows and air pressure. You can see a close up view of the clamping system in this post.
I was never sure if he actually come up with this design, or if it was something he copied from another application. In any case this image shows the machine in operation. I am not sure if it is Bill in the picture.
