I am inclined to write in to AR and set this straight but at the same time I don't want to cause any problems for you with your employer.

Roger and Rainer,
First off let me apologize for not responding to the thread sooner. I have been extremely busy with home business and life in general. Secondly, thank you for your kind comments. I don't know what to say about the lack of acknowledgment on the article. I believe that the NRA is just writing the information given to them but one would think that the NRA would have researched the project a bit more. Truthfully, myself, Mr. Riemer, Mr. Helfrich (wood finisher) and the Arnold facility as a whole are a bit disappointed as well. Overall we were fortunate to get the opportunity to do this project because these projects are usually done at Barron Technology or Belgium. Maybe this project will bring us more opportunities in the future. Once again, thank you for your thoughts.
