[Rhodes22-list] Bottom of IMF Tube

[ed kroposki]

Bill:
	The for it is worth department:  Admiral Spitzer makes all the
fittings inside the mast dealing with IMF.  The mast extrusion, the inner
tube and some external hardware are custom made for Stan by Dwyer.

	A few pieces of hardware are Dwyer off the shelf stuff.  Commodore
Rummy is the current guru on how this stuff is put together.

A: "No-eye deer"

Thanks, Wally,
