If you look in Plaster's Photo History of SOG, there is a whole section on Ben plus other areas where he is credited. Everything from wrist compasses, Bananna Knives, Indig Rations, Dutch Mini-grenades...............!! Anything that we could dream up and justify, he'd find it or have it made. He had an inside track for "Experimental" Weapons/Devices. The CAR-15's designation was XM177E2 because when we fielded it, it was an Experimental Model.
The "negative" image for Chapter 8 is one of my pictures/inventions.
