Default Sheldon Lathe

I agree. The mental state of the new company is thinking - trash old,
when they get excited and buy our new... or maybe not!

A doc control if nothing else would bring customers aware of the company
and maybe future business.

It is a shame.

National Acme was bought by DeVlieg-Bullard II, good folks to work with,

tooth back on instead!

Anyway, Bourne & Koch bought out DeVleig-Bullard, and they seem to have
dumped the Sheldon prints, so now parts can't be made at all.


This is really disgusting, typical and is a very bad side of the
merger mania.

As we know, mergers usually destroy shareholder value (as is the case
with buying Sheldon, which was completely destroyed and thus brought
no value to the purchaser), but they also single handedly leave
customers stranded. Very typical and a sad consequence of testosterone
overload of corporate executives.

If you want to know how I really feel about it,let me know.
