Yes, Kaplan realized that Isotorque was a great Gleasman invention....
And his top priority was to productize it first when he came aboard. However, after a few years of concentrated effort, when they still couldn't overcome that RPM redlining, clutch dropping, do it again and again, high impact durability test, he decided to back burner and move on. Dick knows that, bottom line, you need to generate cashflow if you're a company. I do believe Jim likely would have persisted until he found a solution, rather than move on. Dick understands cash in hand is ultimately king, and made the correct managerial decision IMO.
May Cura be a cash cow.
