Meucci was a factory.
They also made Maximum cues.
In the 80's, compared to the Adam facilities?
We could argue what "factory" means all day I guess...but I did say "if you catch my meaning". So I guess you didn't catch my meaning.
Richard Helmstetter is legendary for developing the manufacturing of cues at Adam. It took decades for others to approach what he did...and some would say they still have not caught up. We now know them as Musashi.
Yes, Meucci made Maximum...and some others that did not have the Meucci name on them. And they imported the Medici line later.
In the 80's Bob Meucci was in the shop building cues. Richard Helmststter was not at Adam making cues. Hence I call the Adam facility a manufacturer and the Meucci facility a cue shop.
Not only do I not think that Meucci made as many cues as Adam, I don't think they had the physical capability to do so. They were not set up for that.
But, if you look at the business profiles of any of these makers, they will be listed as a manufacturing business.
Even Joss, Schon, JP, etc are formally manufacturing businesses. So they can be said to be factories.
So...sure, Meucci had a factory in the 1980's. You are right...but as I said, you didn't catch my meaning. :wink:
