He had a long career of circus inventions, including earlier seats wagons, canvas spools, tongue locks, seat jack cables and more. Concello did have one impact on the design: he sized the chairs and spacing to suit his short frame.; 03 March, 2008 09:43

$35.00 cheap seats on RBB&B we can charge $70 for the low price seats.
What a great idea to make more money!
