`
` BY MR. LEVY:
` Q. Do you agree or disagree that it was
` horrible timing to implement the software update
` described in this email?
` A. Well, generally speaking, any time we
` are in discussion of a ship hold, it's always
` horrible timing.
` Q. Understand.
` And the next sentence is "NLR is about
` to ship machines."
` Do you see that?
` A. Yes. Yes.
` Q. What does NLR refer to?
` A. NLR is North Little Rock.
` Q. And this was a facility producing PM600
` and PM800 machines?
` A. Yes.
` Q. Have you ever been to the North
` Little Rock facility?
` A. I have.
` Q. And it's no longer producing cold
` planer machines?

`
` A. That's correct.
` Q. It's currently producing reclaimer
` machines?
` A. Yes.
` Q. About how many cold planer machines
` were produced by the North Little Rock facility?
` A. I apologize. I'm not sure I could give
` you that number.
` Q. Mr. Hoyle, don't apologize for not
` knowing the answer. That's not an issue at all.
` I'll ask questions on some issues, I'm sure,
` that are beyond what you might know.
` So you don't have a production capacity
` in mind for North Little Rock?
` A. No. We went through several ups and
` downs in the production process there, so I
` really don't have a good feel for the number.
` Q. Understand.
` Well, what ups and downs did you have
` with the production process in North Little Rock
` for cold planar machines?
` A. As we ramped up North Little Rock to
