Mr Britt was a man of many talents. I assume he filed this patent after he got out of prison on his counterfeiting conviction?
BRITT v. UNITED STATES (1968) Robert Gordon Britt appeals from his conviction in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida for counterfeiting. The appellant was convicted upon trial by jury for unlawfully printing six impressions of a $50.00 Federal Reserve Note, in violation of 18 U.S.C.A. § 474. He was acquitted on a count which alleged unlawful possession of twenty-four aluminum plates bearing impressions in the likeness and similitude of a $50.00 Federal Reserve Note, which also is proscribed by 18 U.S.C.A. § 474.
