Data-taking: MS has repeated the SPS-mode data-taking. As before (Sep 2001) the short runs (50 events/run) show a higher pulse size than the long (100-event) runs, with the effect typically being 2-5%. The photodiode channel shows no variation in pulse, indicating that the LED output is constant. It therefore seems that this effect arises in the VPTs.
Software: BWK has sent the electronic passport spreadsheet to RIE.
Delivery of VPTs: Hans Rykaszewski has passed on a message from RIE: the first batch of 100 VPTs left RIE yesterday bound for Customs.
PPARC visit, Jan 9: BWK has asked Justin G, Brian S and Tony L to supply items for the ECAL display.

The test-rig area will require considerable tidying before the visit.
