Dozens of STSci staff assisted Don, Dave, Ben and IPD Tech President Larry Avril safely pack and load the equipment for the move to its new home at PARI. George Rockstroh's crew from Baltimore Rigging Company did a great job of moving the Microdensitometers from STSci. PARI staff did an equally good job of unloading the machines and other equipment.
