Did Kirby Force Royal to Drop the 888/980 in the Early '80s? |

Is it true that Kirby had forced Royal to discontinue models 888 and 980 - you know, the two Royals with the removable nozzle heads - because these two Royals infringed on Kirby patents???
Of course, the 980 was the Electro-Hygiene-branded version. I wonder if it was Kirby that was also responsible for forcing Royal to shut down its Electro-Hygiene division during 1983. Why? Royal touted its premium Electro-Hygiene models (903, 980) to be more in line with Kirby than the common Royal. ~Ben | ||

It would make sense that Kirby would do that- Kirbys and Royals are very similar, after all. | ||
