Linear Orifice Flow Meter Miuntes 9/11/08

*earlier in the week we met with david railsback to go over his visions for how the project should progess as well as gain his insight into the project. At the time the summer team hadn't given us their information so we didn't have much specifically to about. I gave him an update on the progress made with the linear orifice flow meter spring 2008 and showed him the results. We plan on meeting again later when we are caught up.
*Discussed the work done during summer 2008. they created a prototype of the lever arm for chemical dosing and nicole walked me through how their set-up works. We briefly talked about where we thought improvements could be made: stonger connecting medium (curretly fishing wire), thinner float so it will fit into the entrance tank, and stable support mechanism for the flow control modules.
*We also worked on combingin our goals page, which we later found out was wrong and we should have two seperate pages.
