Wikipedia
Brewster may refer to:
Brewster is a small lunar impact crater in the northern fringes of Sinus Amoris. It lies to the southwest of the larger crater Römer. To the southeast of Brewster is the similar-sized Franck. This crater is cup-shaped and symmetrical, with no overlapping craters of note. A low ridge is attached to the northern rim. The crater interior has a relatively high interior albedo compared to the surrounding terrain. (It was named after the Scottish scientist, Sir David Brewster.)
The brewster (B) is a non- SI unit used to measure the susceptibility of a material to photoelasticity, or the value of the Stress Optic Coefficient of the material. The unit has dimensions reciprocal to those of stress. One brewster is defined to be equal to 10 square metres per newton (m/N or 1/Pa) or 10 square centimetres per dyne (cm/dyn). The unit is named after David Brewster, who discovered stress-induced birefringence in 1816.
The Brewster Metro-North Railroad station serves the residents of Brewster, New York via the Harlem Line. It is the southernmost station in Putnam County. Trains leave for New York City every hour, and about every 25 minutes during rush hour. It is from Grand Central Terminal and travel time to Grand Central is approximately 1 hour, 24 minutes.
This station is located in the Zone 7 Metro-North fare zone.
A sizable amount of the station's ridership comes from across the Connecticut state line given the quicker trips, shorter headways, and (outside peak hours) lack of a mid-trip transfer to Grand Central as opposed to taking the Danbury Branch of the New Haven Line. Because of this, Housatonic Area Regional Transit (the Danbury-area mass transit provider) has a route and a shuttle connecting Danbury to Brewster station.

Marvin Brewster, staring raptly at the television set where Colin Clive, in the role of Dr.
This gorgeous, incredibly desirable woman is exuding premarital lust all over the place and that fool, Brewster, is simply sitting there and watching a monster movie on TV.
To Marvin Brewster, it was the movie, the one that had the single most significant impact on his formative years.
She was later to discover that Brewster often had that effect on women and part of his charm was that he was totally oblivious to it.
They had called and called, but Brewster had been distracted by the ringing of the phone, and absentmindedly, he had simply turned it off.
She sat there with him, munching popcorn while Boris Karloff lumbered through the film in his built-up boots and makeup, and during the commercials, Brewster would become absorbed in double-, triple-, and quadruple-checking some kind of circuit board and switch assembly he had put together on the coffee table.
High atop the corporate headquarters building of EnGulfCo International, in his top secret laboratory where no one else, not even the EnGulfCo CEO, could gain admittance, Marvin Brewster had built himself a time machine.
This had, needless to say, cost EnGulfCo quite a bundle, but they figured that if Brewster needed this stuff, chances were that he was onto something that was liable to be very profitable in the not-too-distant future.
The first time traveler in history was a lop-eared rabbit Brewster had purchased in a pet shop and named Bugs.
What happened was that Brewster had programmed the machine, entered the auto-return sequence, and tripped the timer switch to send it back.
Only Brewster did not suddenly acquire a memory of having seen two time machines sitting side by side, ten minutes earlier.
Did this mean that there was a sort of linear factor to time, where there was now a past in which Brewster had, in fact, seen a pair of time machines sitting side by side, complete with two rabbit passengers, but he could not remember it because he only had that experience further back along the timestream?
The only solution to this dilemma that Brewster could devise was to actually get inside the time machine himself, so that he could find out where it went after he tripped the switch.
However, Bugs seemed none the worse for wear after his two journeys, so Brewster felt the risk was justified.
This was why Brewster had been so distracted during the past two months, while Pamela had been trying to get him to the church.
