HRBN, (jtomm)...I view the email as positive. It does in fact prove that there is something currently going on w/ Baldor. In their response they said that even though it has taken longer than expected, they are trying to hammer out the details and determining how they will all move forward. This is also positive..."This joint venture IS intended to allow us to "put a toe in the water" regarding manufacturing linear motors for the Chinese market, and perhaps open up sales distribution for us down the road for some of our other products." What's also interesting is the fact that HRBN holds 3 patents for commercial applications of linear motors in China. I would like to know how strong these patents are and what they cover. They look to have a qualified management team, so I'm sticking with this one... http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=7587015
