Good luck getting a catalog from them. It's almost impossible. Fortunately
it's unnecessary now that everything is on the Web. Check them out at
http://www.mcmaster-dot-com/ they even have online ordering and tracking....

What?!?  A good deal at McMaster-Carr?  Unheard of!  I will definitely jump
on that, it is just what the doctor ordered.

I'm a little unclear on the rest of your post tho- does the 16 inch x 8 foot
come as one piece?  It would have to, the circumference (center of the
chord, actually) of my toroid will be at least nine feet, depending on
whether I decide to make the testing toroid 48" or 60" in the large
dimension.

A wonderful tip, thanks very much.  Guess I need to bug McMaster- Carr for
another catalog- getting catalogs from them is like pulling teeth.
