Now installed, the full-scale model cost $6,000; a metal...

The bedsore patient lies on it face down, with his legs at an angle of about 20° from the vertical, and the upper part of his body only 25° to 35° from the horizontal. In this position, patients on surfboards can read and eat more comfortably. Their old bedsores heal without surgery, and new sores do not develop. Boudreaux has perfected his board...

By borrowing as much as twelve times that amount from banks and other sources of capital-much as consumer-and auto-finance concerns do-Home Capital expects to be able to make loans on some 7,000 homes within 18 months.
