You haven't been paying attention to the Parker-Hanefin case, I take it?

None of us is as dumb as all of us.


If I were going to merchandise a mechanical gyro, George, I'd use 2004
technology, not ancient stuff from out of the 50's. You been hearing too
much spin from the Parker-Hannifin crowd, too much propaganda from their
friends, too much of the take from the GA crowd who think that everytime
there is a judgment it has left a great oozing lesion on their pocketbooks
and has taken GA to the brink of devastation. Besides, after getting a
paltry 4 million dollar judgment against it, instead of the BIG money the
Carnahans were going for, P-H said it was vindicated. So be happy.

I'd be curious to know what P-H's volume is and how much this will be
per unit they ship. Given that the volumes are generally quite low in
GA as compared to say the automotive world, I'll bet this $4MM is a lot
more significant than you think. We're not talking about companies that
sell millions of units a year.
