PLEASE ELABORATE ON "CERTAIN CHANGES" AS I HAVE SEEN NO MAJOR CHANGES IN
BEARDEN'S MEG.

  Even though Dave made this comment some time ago it certainly seems to have
made a mark.

HMMMMMMMM.

MY GUESS IS THAT THEY ARE BRACES/SUPPPORTS/SHIMS WITH THE SIDE ONES BEING USED
TO HOLD THE TWO CEES OF THE CORE TOGETHER.

I DON'T RECALL THE NAUDIN EVER BUILT THE FLUX GATE VERSION OF THE MEG SHOWN IN
JNAUDIN.FREE.FR/MEG/MEG4CF.HTM.   I BELIEVE THAT THE PICTURE IS BUT A CONCEPT
DRAWING BY NAUDIN.  ASSUMING THAT NAUDIN NEVER BUILT SUCH A MEG, WELL THEN WE
WOULD HAVE NO EASY WAY OF KNOWING WHAT MATERIAL NAUDIN HAD IN MIND.  BY THE WAY,
NAUDIN IS A MEMBER OF THIS GROUP AND SO HOPEFULLY IF HE BUILT THIS MEG AND/OR
HAD SOME SPECIAL MATERIAL IN MIND FOR THE FLUX GATES, HOPEFULLY HE'LL REPLY TO
THIS POSTING TO TELL US THE ANSWERS.

BEST REGARDS,

STAN MAYER
