 1. Downloadable test standards
 ==============================
 There are many commercial services that provide copies of test
 standards, at a price, but take a look at
 http://www.dstan.mod.uk/data/ix00.htm for DEF STAN and
 http://www.dtc.army.mil/publications/milstd.html for MIL STD 810F
 .pdf downloadables.
 
 Let us know if you know where others are hiding.
 
 
 2. Shock and Vibration Q&A forum
 ================================
 http://saviac.xservices.com/disc1_frm.htm is an excellent
 question and answer forum for all your vibration test questions.
 There is a wealth of information already posted and new questions
 get quick responses from some of the USA's best-known vibration
 guru's. It looks like the more difficult and interesting the
 question the better they like it! There are many more practical
 questions too and you can offer your own expertise in reply.
 
 
 3. Vibration software
 =====================
 The following vast array of software tools was once offered free
 but now has a very small shareware subscription. If you like
 doing your own thing then check out
 http://www.vibrationdata.com/software.htm You'll see Tom Irvine
 features a number of times in the Q&A forum above and is
 recognised as one of the leading experts particularly in shock
 testing. He's also very approachable if you have a specific
 question.
 
 
 4. EIS exhibition
 =================
 The one-day Engineering Integrity Society's Instrumentation
 Analysis & Testing Exhibition takes place on March 14th at the
 Heritage Motor Centre, Gaydon, Warwickshire (M40 J12) starting
 at 10am. Contact the EIS on tel 0114 262 1155 or
 http://www.e-i-s.org.uk/
 
 m+p will exhibit their range of vibration controller systems and
 we look forward to seeing you there.
 
 
 5. ESTECH 2001
 ==============
 The USA's Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology
 (http://www.iest.org/) have their annual bash in Phoenix, AZ from
 22-25 April. This is truly a massive technical conference and
 exhibition. Can your boss be persuaded by the fact that flights
 currently cost little more than London to Edinburgh return! Good
 luck.

 forward to your inputs. Also please check out our web site at
