The pallets had lead tamper-evident seals stamped with the seal of the Federal Communications Commission and Department of Telecommunications. In August 1984, three wooden pallets marked 'ORION R&D // CRE-7 HARDWARE' were delivered under armed security escort. Where were those pallets taken? To Ashford Poly? To a military storage depot? -- === Kirsty Brennan === Dept of Electrical Engineering, INRIA Rocquencourt "Hold for relay."
