Toroid Bulk Buy

["Tesla list" <tesla-at-pupman-dot-com>]

Original poster: "David L. McKinnon by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-qwest-dot-net>" <DMsHV.DavMcKin-at-verizon-dot-net>

List,

I've contacted O.W. L. and requested a quote for toroids in
the size range of 8" x 32" that could be shipped via UPS (max.
packaging size of 130" - see my earlier post regarding shipping).
They recommend a minimum thickness of 1/8".  They're not able
to make a toroid in split halves using any of their current forms.
The minimum center hole size is 1/4".  Thus, the quote is for a
seamless, welded (whole) toroid that can be shipped via UPS
and uses one of their current spinning forms (which saves the
tooling charge involved).  So far, we have 15 "interested" responses.
I will e-mail those people who responded, if you do not receive an
e-mail regarding this bulk buy, contact me off-list, and I will add your
name to the list.

Would everyone interested in the bulk buy please place a vote for
either of these sizes, or vote for a request for a quote for one with new
dimensions (which would require an additional tooling charge to the
price).  Please E-mail me off-list with your vote.  If you have any
questions,
please contact me off-list.  Thank you.
