Re: leftover permanent magnets

[Elliott Wolin <wolin@jlab.org>]

Dear Phil,

We're getting even more serious about the leftover PDV magnets.  Now we're
wondering about details of shipping, etc.  Obviously a lab-to-lab transfer of
ownership would need to be arranged.  If we decide we really could use them,
we'd be interested in moving them ASAP.

A few questions:

Have the 5 magnets been in a beam?  Could or are they radioactive?

Are they easily accessible?  Can you get them out quickly?

Do they need to be crated for shipping, or just loaded into a truck and tied
down?
If they need to be crated, who would do the work?  Could Fermilab crate them and
drop them onto a truck?  Do we need to supply a crew?

Would someone from JLab need to come out there anyway, even if Fermilab took
care of everything?

Any special shipping requirements (air-ride?)?  How much do you think shipping
would cost us?

Must they be stored inside?  If so, why (our storage czars will put them outside
unless we make a case that they need to be inside...we're terribly short on
inside storage space here!).

Thanks in advance.

				Sincerely,
					Elliott
