Re: RC: RC: Re: Heartrate Monitors

Nope, sorry, Roger did NOT originate the equine HRM.  Tom Ivers did.  I sold the
first ones in  the early 80's, Tom did not desire to handle a sport he was not
directly involved with, so Roger picked the V-Max rights up from Tom.  I might
also add, MANY improvements have been made over the years, mostly by Roger.
