041330 -        the 2nd time to correct problems the first time, ref SDS 8

041345 -         ..

041349 -        of help on 081030, ref SDS 7 UF5H, possibly reflecting
041350 -        difficulties Dennis had recognized occurred doing Millie's
041351 -        first CT test using the Power Port on 080718, ref SDS 1 FM74;
