Sir:

With regard to wind-up radios..I have seen a small, very effective model for sale in Haiti, manufactured (or at least imported)somewhere in the U.S. It actually doubled as afairly large torch and batteries could be used optionally. Not much information to go on, but someone is thinking. The owner of the shop told us that he had not been able to get hold of any more. Since I will be returning to Haiti shortly I will try to discover which American distributor was selling the radios.
