A few notes from CERN (29 Oct 2001, Paul Poffenberger):

Delivery to CERN of ECC is now delayed at least until February
(this seems to be a non-converging series, each week we learn of
another month delay...).

By the information provided by PB, we should have 21 feedthroughs
at CERN by the end of November, and tested by mid December when
our crew heads back to Canada.  After those 21, I propose that 
we hold off further shipments until the final four ft's for ECC 
plus the five spares are completed (should be early in the 
new year) and then send two people to CERN to test those nine ft's.
