I'm not sure where you can get this material, but I had a problem finding a material a few months ago... I received help from something called the Thompson Register. Apparently it is a list of *every*(?) manufacturing company also cross-referenced by *everything*(?) they manufacture. I found it at the local library in the reference section. However I could not decipher my way through it. Luckily I found a tear-out card where you could call the Thompson Register and they will elp you. It only took a few minutes to get the name and address of the company that manufactured my material. (Sorbathane shock absorbing material by the way). Then directory assistance found a number and the company refered me to a regional distribution center that mail-ordered what I needed. The number to the place is (212) 290-7262 and ask for the information center, they were extremely helpful. I'm not sure who funds this entity (for lack of a better word), whether it's advertising to the companies listed, of government or what, but I got the impression that it wasnt advertising because everything was listed and cross-referenced. Anyway, hope that helps, I know I'm keeping the number handy for next time I'm looking fo a material. kevin-kreeger@orl.mmc.com
