[dsg-hallb_rich] [EXTERNAL] Re: auto-flow N2 rotameter no longer available on new dry cabinet

Hi everybody,
just to understand the point, as far as I know in the old dry cabinets 
we don't have this option and we don't plan to use it in the new cabinet 
in normal operation, but only as a backup solution in case of failures. 
Is it correct?
If so, in my view it is good to have but strictly speaking not 
necessary, and I would choose the option that minimizes the delivery 
time, because we have a lot of aerogel on hold in Russia ready to be 
shipped.
Best regards,
Marco
