=== Shipping the OCT Machine ===
 * 01/07/2022: The boxes for the OCT machine were accidentally thrown away from the department. In the event that the OCT machine needs to be shipped, Heidelberg requires the use of their boxes in order to maintain warranty, and will need to be purchased by them for $200. The department has agreed to purchase these boxes for us since it was an error on their end. '''Be sure to charge the department for these boxes.''' Here is the email correspondence documenting the event. [[attachment:OCT_CHARGEDEPTFORBOXES.pdf | Email with Jennifer on Lost Boxes]]
