Contacting ‘Pragmata’ orginization

[Robert MoonShadow]

I think I have the spelling correct…someone here (forget who) had posted the website of this orginization in France that had designed & developed a walk-behind tool bar for attaching various eqipment. I’ve tried emailing them, but get no response. Perhaps because of the language barrier? Whoever the guy was from here had offered to translate & forward to them…I sure could use the help, as I would really want to get the schematics if possible, so I can have it built here for my donkeys to use.
I’m no sure how to search for the thread here, myself, and w/ a half-hour time limit on this library’s ‘puter, I haven’t been able to find it by scrolling…
…any help?

Yep! That’s the one! Unfortunately, I’ve received no replies after emailing them at least twice…I’m thinking it’s a language barrier. I’m hoping to find whomever it wasw on DAP that offered to translate for me, because I am very interested in this system. I’d like to get the designs for this, to have someone local build it, as I assume the cost of buying & importing it direct from them would be too exspensive.
Of course, if someone here at DAP was to start building these under license of this organization, I’d be first in line to buy! 😀

Robert,

Have you tried to use the google language tool on the google page? If you go there and put in the Prommata address you can translate the whole page. There is also a spot where you can write in English and translate to French, or any one of 20-30 other languages. Hope this helps!

I will guess that was Good Companion. Try sending him private message.

Hi,

About 5 years ago I spoke with someone at promatta over the phone about about my making a potential visit and tour of member operations around the south. The trip never happened. I also have a 4 1/2 year old kid now. Coincidence? You decide.

They sent me a packet of literature, though, I still have it, it has some info on the various designs. I will have a look through it asap and see if any of it is worth scanning and putting on the board, or if there are specific details of how to order plans.

I do also remember that there is some sort of master tome of Promatta and its founder, a Jean-Baptiste Noelle, that sells for about $80 u.s. If anyone has a suggestion about sharing this purchase and the use of the book in a way that would work, I would be interested in talking about it. From what I know of the state of animal power in Europe, there is a lot of accumulated art and knowledge in the hands of promatta.

And Robert, I would still be willing to translate any message to them. I know they have an actual office in Rimont with at least one staff member in it, so I’m sure that we can get a response, once we find out the right way to ask.

Hey, that book is only $56 canadian ordered from amazon canada. 3x that much ordered from the regular u.s. amazon. Go figure.
