In 2004 the number of customer appliances under evaluation in Fenwal's applications lab doubled over the previous year, as a higher percentage of manufacturers in emerging markets expressed the need for application development support."Beyond commercial and industrial, we're seeing more projects in residential and municipal markets for automatic ignition of specialty luxury gas appliances," says Jerry Harting, Director of Sales and Marketing, Fenwal Controls.

Luxury Coaches Made Affordable by Fractional Ownership
CoachShare, Inc. recently launched a fractional ownership program that enables participants to enjoy the benefits of luxury motor coach ownership at greatly reduced cost. Luxury motor coaches, the largest and most lavish form of recreational vehicle (RV), can have sticker prices ranging from $100,000 to more than $500,000; this fractional ownership program divides the purchase and operating expenses between owners, bringing luxury RV vacationing within the budgets of many American families."Before this program, luxury RV ownership posed a serious financial drain," explained CoachShare CEO Jim Palmer. "When you only use this type of vehicle for a few weeks each year, the high purchase price and expenses for storage, maintenance and depreciation are hard to justify. Through our program, these costs are shared by a small group of CoachShare members, who can enjoy the ownership of a $100,000 luxury RV for as little as $14,000.
Compared to private ownership, our members save up to...
