Marker ski bindings from the 1990s to 2000s. In 2007, Marker unveiled a new freeski binding system called the Duke.

In 2008, the company released two new bindings, the Baron and the Griffon, that are also based on the Duke system.
Bindings allow a certain amount of flexure of the boot position before they release under pressure during a fall. [9] Each binding is set for a DIN value that determines how readily it will release in case of a fall, based on the parameters of the skier's height, weight, age, and ability (rated from one for beginner to three for an advanced skier).
Their unique feature was retractable cables that would pull the ski back onto the binding in the event of a fall.

The fingers were attached to a metal box that ...

The binding plate, screwed to the bottom of the boot, is held in place by these clamps.

During 2001, it was announced that the Indian Coast Guard had formed an agreement with Griffon Hoverwork to supply an initial batch of six 8000TD hovercraft, two of which were to be manufactured at GHL's boatyard in Southampton, England, while the remaining four craft were assembled from complete knocked-down kits (CKDs) supplied to the Indian company Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers ...
