Hi,
I think you mean Robertson. I have never heard of Thompson.
The Robertson was a Canadian invention. They are available in the US
now, I just can't find the catalogue now.
Sears in Canada has them. The normal sizes are 1,2 & 3. They have a very
small one #0 and a larger one #4, which is what I think you need. Try
your local Sears and see if they can special order, I know they have
#0,#1,#2,#3 in the catalogue here, I don't see individual #'s, they are
part of kits.
You would be more likely to see them in a woodworking type store or
catalogue.
Feel free to contact me and I will dig deeper for a source.
regards,
John m. Ross
Windsor, Nova Scotia, Canada.
