Drop Outs - Who makes them and where to buy?

I'm looking for rear long slot dropouts, e.g. Campagnolo 1010

Who else makes drop outs?

Does anyone have any? or know a good place to buy?

Context is a friend who is a keen hobbyist frame builder, is restoring a frame for me (an old Claud Butler). We wanted to find some modernish dropouts. i.e. have a gear hanger; screws for squaring; thick enough for qr; possibly mud guard eyelets; and to fit a 70/71 degree angle.
 
I'll dig out the bucket.
There usedto be loads of half decent bikes with a cracked dropout.
Some frames were prone to it, but a lot of bikes had had a 130 or 135 wheel bolted into a 126 dropout then ridden for years🙄
Unfortunately it's quite a bit of time to replace both Dropouts, even with a frame jig, and those old stays got a bit grainy if you poured in too much heat😬

The length of the tabs is crucial to what's already on there.
The actual dropout angle will depend on the insertion into the stays. If you're not building from scratch, your options are limited.
