Fred, I remember them and the "Browne Belt". They made a hot belt reflow
system, it was popular (if that is a term you can use with this type
equipment) back about 20 years ago. I believe I looked into buying one back
when I worked at Mostek, circa 1975 and they had already been bought out by
someone at that time. Checked the Thomas Register, and they are not listed.
Sorry but I can't give you a good lead.

Maybe some of the old timers here can help ;-)
