2. Hardware
  Total survey (DH) --> see att. 1.
    We can mount corner cubes and total stations at points A, B, C,
    and D, see att. 1.
    It should be possible to measure moves in fraction of a mm.
    We will drill 3 holes on top of MD1 & MD2. Will discuss this
    with Bruno on Friday. This kind of total alignment checking has
    not been done before.

   XIA (CR)
    The XIA system would be a simple standalone DAQ for 22Na(p,g).
    Couldn't get it running. Exactly Win2000 SP2 is needed. However, 
    Even this doesn't work.
    Chris will ask the company for newer drivers.

   Mitutoyo (DO)
     Company could not answer the question if battery is rechargable.
     New one costs 1600 CAD (or US$?).

   TUDRAGON (DH)
     17O(p,g) will be the first TUDRAGON run.
     Need to use LEDAs in DRAGON

   Detector box (PM)
      Leaking through the feed-throughs. We need a list of costs.
      Jan 29 is dealine for budget as well as for annual reports.
