Subj:	low mass bending radius

We have got first samples of low mass tapes (cables) .   Aluminum
thickness is 50 microns, kapton thickness is 25 microns (in single layer).
Cables are  about 1.6 m long.

First tests have shown that bending radius of these cables may be less
than  1 cm.  We intend to make a second iteration with a design of lines
defined on http://merlot.ijs.si/atlas/low_mass.html.  We expect to
produce and deliver in the next iteration about 10 cables for forward
tests (delivery to Tony  Smith) and  about same for barrell (delivery to
Gareth Moorehead). Cables  will be suited for MOLEX 20 pin connectors.
