Final report Brown and Sharpe CRADA, CRADA 92-0090

This CRADA technically started in October 1992, for a two year period, and the major component of the agreement was for the Brown and Sharpe company to provide a Leitz Model 654 Coordinate Measuring Machine for installation in the HTML and for HTML staff to conduct a series of studies to demonstrate the capabilities of this sophisticated metrology instrument. Mr. Mike Majlak was the contact at Brown and Sharpe. V.J. Tennery was the contact at ORNL. The CRADA agreement included two major phases, Phase I and Phase II. Phase I included instrument delivery, set up and calibration, plus the start of a series of repetitive measurements on reference bars to determine long term stability of the instrument. The instrument delivery occurred late and installation was only completed on April 30, 1993, therefore useful work during the first six months of this agreement was greatly reduced compared to the planned rate of progress.
