3-48 hardware update.

[Gerald C. Lemay]

I would like to thank all those who took the time to respond to my recent
inquiry regarding 3-48 hardware. Special thanks to those who even offered to
"donate" some to the cause. Today, I've ordered a lifetime supply from
McMaster-Carr. They have every type of hardware available under the sun,
accept credit card orders, and no minimum. You can order right from their
secure web site. Time will tell what kind of service I'll get from them. At
the same time, I requested their full catalog which they said would arrive
shortly. Think I'll keep it on my desk as a reference. Maybe I just woke up
but after over 30 years in the business, and seeing that thick catalog on
countless Mechanical Engineer's desks, I finally got the message. Another
source I considered was MSC Supply. Turns out they have an office in my town
located at the airport, across the street from the Cush-Craft antenna
factory. Believe it or not, I'd rather order by mail than put up with
traffic jams to get there at the end of the day. Last time I checked, there
was construction and cars were backed up as far as the eye could see. Good
thing we have Internet access.
