[TheForge] Rust-resistance: Iron Pillar of Delhi

Mon Oct 27 22:00:06 2003

Give them a call and talk to them live -- find out what they have and what
warehouse they would ship out of.  (Need to be careful with some of these
suppliers -- will ship out of multi warehouse -- and cost you two times the
shipping.)

I have not purchased any 1006 or 1008 from these folks -- just know they had
it.  In my old day job I was the project engineer -- just had the purchasing
folks taking care of these details. (As in we need 80 feet of 4 inch 4340
round bar to make bridle rolls.  What the best price we can get?  We need by
Dec. 20th.)   Just knew they carried most steels.
