Selling, schmelling. Just a transfer of title. The same crew getting the same pay will report to work as usual making the same sensors in the same building, because the USA needs someone to be able to provide these sensors, and ones we know nothing of, without involving other countries. Kodak stated that it's sensor division was profitable. So my thinking is if it is shopped out to some other entity, that holding company would make a few bucks. I would hope, for their sake, that EK would sell off enough other assets to be able to buy the sensor division back after a period of time. If not, there are a dozen companies who are dealing on a large scale making substrates that might be interested in branching out.
