I worked with Thurston in the mid to late 50s. He had a motor bike with a side car made out of a wooden crate.
He made machines to make brick propellers for model aeroplanes, and also one to make brick buttons, during the war, the ones you had to take off your pants befor they were washed.
He made a wonderful scale model of a brick machine that actually made tiny NORI bricks, it was shown at a building exhibition in London, late [40's I think]
