Now I think I may know why. The posts in the above are interesting;
what struck me was one by David S-A, quoting a guy named Alec Hidell
from another forum.
Hidell says he's a former employee of RP, and one of the major issues
was quality control, including this quote:
"Even the "showpiece" of the Royal Precision shaft manufacturing
process, Frequency Matching of shafts in a set, was being done by a very
few devices that were falling apart, for which there were no parts
lists, schematics, calibration procedures, etc. These devices were
invented by a former executive of the company, and the company never
obtained the information needed to maintain or replace them as needed."
It matches with my experience.
It's too bad--not only for the people losing their jobs, but for the
shaft industry generally. We don't need all the shaft production
capacity in the hands of only one company.
At least, I think we don't.
Mike

Why would True Temper or anybody "buy" the business which by its own
admission has been losing money for several years?
Buying the patents maybe, but not the business as there are all kinds of
liabilities including union contracts, pensions, and environmental.
