CS Mounting Systems is owned and operated by David Joseph.   Back in 1986, I committed to some wonderful people at Sunnyhill Hospital for Children in Vancouver that I would come up with a way to mount speech devices on wheelchairs.  I had it all figured out.  I would go to Seattle and see my good friend Dean Iverson and he would show me.   I went and saw Dean and soon realized that there was nothing on the market that would allow a speech device to be mounted on a wheelchair the way I thought they should.

Shortly after, a young man came to my house to buy a computer that I was selling and I discovered he was a machinist.  I describe to him what I wanted to build a wheelchair mounting system and after a few meetings he invited me to "his" shop and I saw the first pieces and I took them and showed they around Vancouver.

A few weeks later, the same people called me and said some guy name Geoff Webb was showing the same pieces!  I realized that he was the other person I had met at the machine shop.  I confronted him and was told he owned the shop and anything that was developed there was his.  After a short discussion, we agreed that he was going to make the stuff and I was going to sell it.

A month or so later, Geoff called and asked me to come and see something new and he showed me the first folding mount fashioned after a folding cinema chair.  The first time we showed it was at Closing the Gap and people liked it; particularly David Gordon of ACS.   It was David that pointed out that the current design could cut off your finger if you had it in the wrong place but that if Geoff could make a folding assembly that would not cut of people's fingers, ACS would like to distribute them for us.
