Interesting thing about the F1D scales. I was sure that I knew that Ray had donated two sets of go/no-go scales: one to USIC and one to the team selection program. Then Abram said that he purchased the ones that were being used at USIC, and (as I remember it) Ray backed that up. So much for my memory.

Abram is willing to let us use his Harlan F1D go/no-go scales at USIC, so we are good there. I believe the other set of scales is on the west coast somewhere - I'm thinking that Andrew Tagliafico has them for Kibbie.

The rest of the processing equipment, which should include the measuring devices, along with the triple beam balances, is in Dave Thompson's possession. He will be bringing those to Champaign (or, someone will collect those from him).

We've got a little deciding do to about the LPP processing, per my other message. It's funny how the "simplest" class has the most rules, and the most processing intricacies :)
