Should I understand than Charlin copied the Darne R model ?


Darnation,
That's not exactly what I'm saying. What I'm saying is...it's too early in our collective knowledge to know who copied who...and who licensed who to build their design...and when the patents expired and it became public technology, as happened to Verney Carron with the Helice action.

We don't know yet if Darne incorporated design changes that first appeared on Charlins...or the other way around...

Would you like to share in the collective project that I've offered Larry? Perhaps you have space to post them for everyone to examine.
