John;

It's a good thing the patent lawsuit wasn't against Pratt & Whitney!

yup there's all the 1/8 clecos I have, I have  another 100 3/32 clecos on a 
brass tender,  a 1 1/2 inch scale tender for a Mogul steam engine that I'm 
also building....(the tender)
alloy? well now there's a story too, about 8 years ago I got a job making a 
model of a paper drier for a patent lawsuit, I had to make a full scale 
working model to use in a courtroom, used a 1 1/2 HP motor turning a fan 
sucking air through the drier roller in a closed courtroom! papers flying 
everywhere. I got a real kick outa the look on the lead attorneys face when 
we fired that puppy up, to say NOTHING of the look of the judge! anyway, 
the atty kept the 36 inch dia 4 foot long 1/2 wall thickness plexi model 
and fan, I kept the aluminum ducting to it. it was left outside for these 
years, and I've forgotten the type of aluminum, I think its 6061 I know 
its' .050. I've been cleaning it with steel wool to scrub the crud off, 
later I'll use the Alumidine stuff to coat it....I did buy some 5052 
4x10x.050 for when the used stuff is gone....(and marked it so I'll know 
what the *%^^$ it is in a couple of years....)my memory sure aint what it 
used to be....I can remember stuff I used to own, and I'll spend time 
(sometimes a LOT ) looking for it cause now I got a use for it, until I 
remember that I gave it away sold it lost it 15-20 years ago....
