     One of its other attributes is that it's common material and usually
available in small quantities (13"-18" sticks) at any decent bearing or
industrial supply house.  Some consider it to be expensive, and it may be,
relatively speaking, but considering you are only required to buy 13" at a
time and can walk out the door with it in yer pocket, you could do much worse.
    Ron, . . . do you have an email address for Swindon?  I have potential
customer to send them (so maybe he'll stop pestering me!)
