Looking for the manufacturer of a small,solid brass U-channel, which is perforated to allow bending around curves.(for stained glass lamps,etc.) Samples we have from one distributor are made from .020" X 3/8" flat strip, with .045 X .285 slits across the width, .100 o.c. U-channel profile is shaped like a parabola; 1/8" wide X 5/32" tall. Also has an embossed pattern running along both edges. May be referred to as *zipper brass*, a good visual description. We'll be needing approx. 6,000 ft./yr. Not sure if this was made by progressive die or roll formed or both. Any help most welcome. Steven C. Potter
