Thanks for the heads up. http://www.agilent.com/metrology/hazardous.shtml There is a link near the bottom (long URL so I won't bother copying it) titled: 5071A Shipping Instructions It says: Instructions for Older CBTs tells how to label a caesium beam tube that does not have the required marking for shipping when using these instructions. This applies to any tube manufactured prior to November 2001, including tubes inside the Agilent 5061A/B and 5071A. http://www.home.agilent.com/upload/cmc_upload/All/EPSG088876.pdf It says: When shipping a 5071A or a replacement CBT in accordance with IATA international DG rules, check the instrument for the above marking. If the marking is present (visible through the cover perforation), follow the IATA international shipping instruction given elsewhere in this website. If the marking is missing, order Label P/N 05071-80030 from Agilent or download from this website. Affix it to the CBT as shown. Follow the shipping instruction referenced above. -- The suespammers.org mail server is located in California. So are all my other mailboxes.

Thanks a lot for the links. I have printed out all the relevant information and will take it with me to UPS when it's time to ship. This should avoid any potential hassles. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hal Murray" <hmurray@suespammers.org> To: <time-nuts@febo.com> Sent: Sunday, April 30, 2006 8:26 PM Subject: Re: [time-nuts] For Sale - HP 5061B Cesium > > > HP has a shipping exemption for their standards.
