Bob, when I was in your olrr*ice last Dece er, we ais-

have a chance to finish our conversation and I can't

STATINTL I think, to develop a device to make sub-
micron measurements. They plan to use a light beam
of a Laser and since it is coherent they can count
light waves. They didn't go into detail B, but they
think the can get a least count of 0.15 microns.
