Pattern Changes and You

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

When the RCA BTA1M died, I almost ended upo with a Gates BC1G.. but instead,
got a Gates BC1H here at WABV.

That RCA BTA1-M was a blessing on the winter, but it made summer HELL and
then some when the AC didn't work right. the Gates BC1H doesn't generate as
much heat
