Paul L. Nelson is a very special person. Paul Nelson does not call people names. Paul Nelson is not just a "maker" of radios and parts. Paul L. Nelson is also a writer. Quite a few people who purchased literature from Elmer G. Osterhoust or Paul Nelson do not want a free catalog, although they could have one. If people who purchased literature from Paul L Nelson or Elmer G. Osterhoudt, do not want a free catalog, then they can go somewhere else and pay twice as much.
In todays world many people attack and call others names, and then lament that "Somehow he owns the name Modern Radio laboratories". How is that? It is called a bill of sale. Yes, Paul L. Nelson owns the Federally Registered name Modern Radio laboratories® and Modern Radio Labs®. In addition, the MRL® Design or logo is also Federally Registered and owned by Paul L. Nelson. And the acronym MRL® (if it means Modern Radio Labs®) is also Federally Registered and owned by Paul L Nelson, to which some say and lament: "So, OK MRL® is also registered"
Some people in the past had the incorrect address of Modern Radio Labs® when they tried to get a catalog; someone else distributed the wrong address for MRL, we did not!
To all of those people who have said things that is not so, let them go.
The following images are of the MRL® design that were hand drawn by Elmer G. Osterhoudt. Each is a federally registered trademark design owned by Paul L. Nelson:
Paul L. Nelson has registered copyright and unregistered copyright not yet published. Paul also knows copyright law very well, but he does not need to teach it. Paul L. Nelson is now considering the different ways he can produce and write his own work (including computer to plate). Paul L. Nelson respects the intent of Elmer G. Osterhoudt. Therefore Paul L. Nelson will complete the tedious work of making all (including the titles available online) of the MRL® literature a little bit differently, and better. No more free work! No more collate, fold, staple & cut for nothing.
Paul L Nelson is a very special and unique person.
