Hot news from China,

1.  The customer asked we delay shipment until they can come here for a
preacceptance visit.

2.  They'll be here August 18 to 21.  Rod, can you train them then?  If
not, is Brad possible?  Leave the controller and actuator hooked up.

3.  Installation will be in early to mid October since ocean shipment is
OK.

4.   I've no fucking idea what changed, in April I was told there was a
critical experiment that must be running on Sept. 13th.  That deadline
must have disappeared with their problems/delays getting visas since
they didn't want to endanger their trip justification??

5.  It does mean we'll have time to insure everything ships.

6.  Also we'll have time to fix an OOPS.  Dave saw the static support a
few weeks ago and today mentioned that the fastening holes are on the
top plate, not the bottom plate as needed.  I wasn't been able to find
it downstairs today but I did look at the drawings and what Dave saw is
what we ordered, not what we need.
