This message came in today from one of Tailwind gurus.

This is NOT good news, so I'm considering it as bad news.

I just talked to Charllie at Dillsburg concerting 4130 sheet. I now
call weekly for the latest update. According to Charlie (and I agree)
what we are seeing with 4130 is endemic of the entire steel supply.
Over the years, America's ability to manufacture our own steel has
steadily diminished to the point where we are now dependent of CHINA
for 4130. They can charge whatever they want and deliver according to
their own convenience.

Out sourcing of our ability to produce the products we need is a
disaster that threatens everything. Terrorists, who want to see the
end of our country, don't need to do a thing except wait. Our own
stupidity, greed and laziness will do the job for them. Jerry
