If there is time we will measure the Boxy part on Wednesday afternoon 
at Bath. The critical dimensions are those for the cylindrical hole 
as shown on Operation 19 on the four axis data. Boeing, Bath, CCAT, 
Scania and KTH are planning to machine the part on a total of 7 
different machines.

The STEP-NC data for moldy has been updated so that it uses mm units 
for all components including the toolpaths which were stored in inch 
units in previous versions.

The agenda for the meeting has been adjusted so that the Boxy part 
will be discussed in the morning and the Moldy part in the afternoon. 
The new agenda is on the ftp site:
