And Prym, Sapim, DT,etc,etc. The guys used national type stuff when they could and branched out when needed or a real price came along.

The stuff was so international in scope,it's not to fanatic an issue unless you want to be very exact and then the quest gets a little more difficult and possibly pricey, but do your thing and the hell with what anybody says.Ted Ernst
