Does anybody have any information on the following:

The material used on the paper roller of an Apple ImageWriter. Specifically,
what metal/rubber/coating is used on it?

The coatings on the Male 9-Pin D-Connectors for the Serial Ports; does
anybody have information on their "ruggedness", that is, how many times
one can push'em and pull'em before wearing them out?  What sort of
damage does it do to the female?

The type of glass used on a Macintosh screen; specifically, is it soda-
lime-glass, or lead-based? 

The outer plastic casing of the Macintosh. Is it ABS plastic? 

Rather a strange list of questions, but I thought somebody out here
might know ...

Thanks in advance; please send me any replies, as I usually can't
comb though all the articles!
