1). Cosmic Ray Chambers:
Simon has checked the cosmic chamber signals now that alcohol has been added. Things look much better now. Several chambers are being read out and a crude calibration is in place. More work will be done when Simon gets back from vacation.
2). Small-Scale Prototype:
Comparison of chamber resolution with stretched cathodes shows now change from before (i.e. compared to the old wrinkled planes).

Brian showed his first mechanical drawing. Not much to talk about as drawing was 0th order. Brian will continue to work on this.

We agreed that it is time to start to perform the load calculations for the frames supporting the wires.
