 Brian,
   I'm not at my normal desk with all the information I can give you, but their is a company
in the bay area called Lenthor Engineering. I don't have their phone number on me, but
give them a call, they FAB flex circuits and can give you all kinds of info. I'm not sure of the

spelling but Dana Lagruter is in their engineering dept. and he can help you out.... Tell him
I sent you. (NO he won't hang up).
