"supposedly" is not fact cleverly stretching it Frank
So in the interest of getting more factual, because that is what this board is for: ...from what I am able to piece together from longs and management combined, is the original nugget machinery received was not producing the right size of granulate Magnum had ordered for many months ago. You having been in business 25 years yourself; I think could appreciate this is possible, and yes equally confounding nevertheless far short of absurd as you allude too.
The delay is two fold from what I have to go on. One obviously the first shipment was unsatisfactory, and had to be reordered and reshipped while the unsatisfactory equipment returned.
Two the new machinery being reshipped is being tweaked by the manufacturer to exceed specifications for optimal production for Magog purposes ( read more efficient than previous order specifications and almost certainly intended to be MORE compatible with SRI requirements for new compounds). There you are sir, all I know as of this moment apart from the timing which I understand is a matter of weeks to production.
Now does that satisfy some of your angst Frank or am I wasting my time and yours old chap.
