That reminds me: I need to set some time aside to revisit this. I tried it about two years ago but found the movement of the optic during handoff from the crane to the table to be quite large. But I recall you telling me afterwards that the movement is repeatable so that you can compensate for it.

No, it's a much simpler one just to get something working quickly.

I need to learn how to do reflow soldering first to build the one mentioned on the list serv.

Last night I managed to find:

- www.machining-4u.co.uk : hooks you up with independent machinists; most ship to Europe
- www.tsprototypes.com : custom machining via CAD file uploads. I think they ship to Europe

I've been using uv a lot recently to specify dependencies for and run single scripts and have found it very useful. Their docs link to a similar PEP.
