of experience serving the worldwide primary glass manufacturing
industry. The TECO (TM) group provides the industry with glass-melting
furnaces, batch plants, and complete plants for the production of all
types of glass..."
It also says "...TECO (TM) [is a] registered tradmark of Toledo
Engineering Co., Inc."

I've never done any real work with modes 2 and 4. I'm only in mode 2

can just spread rumors that there once were rumors about Stopgap.
