Topband: Dacron & varmits

[Roy Morgan]

There is a company that sells aircraft parts and supplies. The name is something like "American Spruce" or some such. Memory is unreliable on this. 

They sell spark-plug shaped silica gel de humidifier devices used in preserving piston engines and also used in early Collins PTO's. 

Some creative searching will turn up the company name.
