3 Progress
3.1 Equipment
We need an equivalent of Alcor US's Mobile Life Support
System cart. After discussion we decided to see if Hugh
Hixon could send over a copy of the design plans for Alan,
along with a quote (if an option) for the cost of Alcor US
shipping parts to us. We also need to obtain some spare
HLR shoes for training and an instrument tray.
1[1]94/MCP MLSS Ask Hugh for quotes for
and plans, trays, shoes
3.2 Membership
Mike gave a short account of his recent meeting with John
Fearby. For interested new members we need to obtain
copies of Alcor US's new edition of Cryonics: Reaching for
Tomorrow. They're $5 each. We'll order about 10 when we
pay the 1994 dues, which we've been invoiced for.
2[1]94/MCP Dues and info Mike to order booklets
when paying dues.
Bob Grahame has been having problems with finding a co-
operative insurance company.
3[1]94/GS Insurance Garret to advise Bob.
3.3 Funeral Directors
The Cryonics Institute have reached some type of
understanding with the funeral directors F.A.Albin and
Sons, who specialise in overseas cases. We had informative
talks with them a while back but these lapsed after a
change of ownership. Since they are still interested we
should resume discussions with them about protocols.
4[1]94/GS Funeral Directors Re-establish links.
3.4 Security
We need to upgrade the lock on the front door, from a 3-
lever to a 5-lever mechanism, to comply with the insurance
company's requirements. Cost is about 15-20 plus labour.
Alan will see if he can change the locks himself.
5[1]94/AS Locks Change lock and get new
keys copied.
4 Any Other Business
4.1 The next AUK meeting will be held at the facility near
Eastbourne at 11:00am on the 6th of February 1994. We will
review our procedure relating to perfusate preparation.
4.2 Our records and our memories bear out our interpretation of
the ownership of the MII (see 1[12]93/GS), which we find
compatible with Paul Wakfer's records, but not with his
interpretation of them.
