Mr DeMello in the conference previously arranged.
The agreements reached were as follows:

(1) Crate all weather island equipment in sturdy crates or bores
using now crating material or the equivalent (I insisted on this
since the same crating material will have to be reused.)

Construct all crates or boxes approximately 4 by 4 or multiples
thereof to facilitate the loading and unloading operation es~
pecially at the weather islands and to prevent loss of small
packages.

as far as possible.
(The load limit of the fork lift with the
equipment is 3500 pounds.)

(5)
Label the outside of the packages only with the oode name of
the island and the box mmber. (This will prevent loss by
pilferage since the contents will not be known.)

all packages. Copies to be distributed as follows:
(a)
One » Commander, "REP
