From Venno

We'll Have another Structures Meeting This Friday at 2:00 in 0006. We'll go over the testing procedure and do some work till about 5 im guessing so stop by. If you can;t make it e-mail me. Also i have revised the Testing procedure from a point force test to a more accurate uniform force test. I will be testing this procedure probably tommorow to make sure that the procedure works and then i'll send out the revised instructions. If your interested in helping out let me know it'll probably be between 2:20 and 6. If you would like to work on anything let me know and i will open the room for you. For those of you that have nothing to do let me know.
Thanks
