[CDO] CDO parts

[Roger Garnett]

The maker of this con rod is worth capturing as a source - if they're not
in Monroe's catalog, they're not likely to be. He has a great selection of
raw forgings available, get the finish machine work done yourself, but I
get the impression he's not developing anything not already in the catalog.
One thing we can do on the web site is create a list of vendors, and
another of  compatible or cross referenced parts.

Monroe is another important CDO resource, and we should figure out how to
preserve what he's done while we can. Monroe has a lots of molds and other
tooling to make these parts, and has a number of folks that do the forge
work and and stuff to make the parts. He's done a lot to build this up as a
one-man operation, and it would be unfortunate to lose it. When I talked to
him last year, he said he wasn't able to go to Hershey due to mobility
issues - I think he's at least 82 years old.

How can we best approach this as a club, to preserve and continue these
parts and production capabilities?

Roger
