Matthews" at Nov 17, 94 9:28 am Mailer: Elm [revision: 70.85] Status: RO Mike - I apologize if your on hold for something. I thought we had agreed on 12' to 14' as a cable length? If I recall our conversation, we felt that it was a good length that could be coiled in shorter stituations but gave us the length needed to cover the furthest layout position. It was also a standardized cable that way. Maybe I'm mistaken and the 18' cables are those ones. If that is the case I don't know what other cables there are. The power cables were to be about 10' I thought with a pigtail so that they could be trimmed by Mark C. when we finally installed them. The thinking being that those cables could be trimmed custom since the positions shouldn't change. If I'm in the ozone about this I apologize again. Mark should tell you if the ends are attached to terminal strips the way I think they are. As far as the toolsled lights, if it was my decision I would eliminate them. Since that is not the case we have two options planned for. First is the lights might run through the standard connectors and interface. For some reason I remember that being problematic so we had a second idea which was running the cables direct. This second idea has two "sub" options. One is a direct connection which precludes dropping the toolsleds. The other option is to make an adaptor that would seperate when the toolsled was dropped. I hope this answers your question. Give me a call if you need more information and I'll do what I can. - Bill
