We will be transferring the magnets to you.  (I decide, after consulting w/
Marriner.)   As for packing, I will have to do some work there...people seemed
to
think we didn't need to do a lot of work with regard to vibration.  We will
double
check that the things called "end shims" are very tightly bolted in, and wrap
each
magnet in herculite to keep it dry and to keep things from getting into the
bore.
Then I would propose putting all three onto a common pair of 4x4s, with spacers
in
between.   We need to worry about whether it's an open truck or closed truck
(loading issues) and how the set of three get picked up as one.  My guess is it
would cost about $500 for preparing them for shipping.   But I will check around
and see if I can get a better number.  By the way, my number is (630) 840-4547,
if
Joan or anyone else needs to call me.
