Yes, and Sheetrock is the trademark of a US manufacturer of gypsum

gyproc is also a product name of a large, french-based conglomerate that
produces gypsum board in many places around the world, including Canada.

It's one of those trademarks that has slipped into general usage.

I had a 1939 book on how to drive tunnels. It referred to the common
90 pound vertical drilling hammer as a JackHammerTM [Ingersoll Rand],
some forty years after it was introduced. Now half the jackhammer
users don't even know who Ingersoll Rand is.

Here's a bit of history. In Germany and many other countries, Aspirin is
still a trademark of Bayer. But after WW I, Germany (and Bayer) lost the
trademark for aspirin in the US, Russia, England and one or two other
countries as a part of war reparations.

Let's give it a rest. It's time to go boating.

I've been working on mine...

Me too. Just changed out the belt for the raw water pump on the
primary generator, not a fun job since it requires removing the pump
which is almost inaccessible. Also adjusted the belt for the
alternator while I was in there , plus changed the oil and filter.
Hopefully it's good to go for a while, maybe a little fishing later.


Reply:
Mine is in the paint shop. Will be ready when I return from Kona. Going
boating on a zodiac Tuesday, manta ray snorkel from boat Wed. My car's are
a lot slower than they used to be. Age and the fact the wife and insurance
company hates for me to get tickets.

Wrong. They invented the stuff. Salicilic acid from willliow, or
anywhere else is not aspirin, anymore than that other acetyl
derivitive of an ancient painkiller, heroin, is morphine.
