No puedo agradecer a Juan Pablo Rozas suficiente para enviarme este hermoso libro.
Se trata de una magnífica producción y los personas han hecho un gran honor no sólo por su gran pionero de Sánchez,
sino para todo el mundo que ahora se puede compartir la belleza de su obra. Estamos orgullosos de mostrar folletos y 
fotos de los aparatos en el sitio web de comunicaciones anteriores con Juan Pablo y la familia Sánchez.
 Es un gran honor ver el trabajo de este elegante.
