[pct-l] Beaks (on tarps, not birds)



The beak is a proprietary concept that is protected under US patent law.
Also, when using the term beak in conjunction with tarp design - whatever
the actual design might be - the commercial retailer should recognize that
this term originated with the design currently sold under the GoLite name as
being "Ray-way" in origin.

I mention this not to be astringent, but to save other commercial retailers
from any headaches.

- blisterfree
