    Re: Cylindrical Slide Rule tube poll

    Hi Wolfgang
    
    You may have missed me.  When I told Gary I wanted one, I meant it!  Of 
    course, you may have confused me with Bill Morris, a common occurrence.
    
    I would want one and I do believe Dr. Sult would requested TWO (2), in 
    addition to the construction guide.
    
    Best Regards
    BRAD Morris
    *emphasis added for clarity, I am not yelling :-)  really!!!

    were interested.
    I keep the list open so we have an idea of what
    quantities we are looking for...
    
    I did not receive a quote yet.
