          Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing for Printed Boards


        The Greater Boston Chapter of the IPC Designer's Council will
        hold its next meeting on Thursday, June 18th at 6pm.  This is
        the last meeting of the '97/'98 season, with the next meeting
        to come in perhaps September.

        Gary Ferrari, Executive Director of the National Designer's
        Council,  will speak on activities and initiatives at the IPC
        and on the coming changes in the member benefits package.

        John Sabo, Senior Designer with Allen Bradley, will speak on
        Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing - What it is, Why we
        need it, How to do it, and Where to get more information.

        This methodology is needed to accurately describe any machined
        or fabricated part, if you tolerance a location as +/-.003,
        you are allowing a "square" tolerance area that will actually
        allow the item to be located +.003/+.003, or .0042 away from
        your specified location.

        Agenda:

        6:00 pm,    Arrivals and Pizza (optional, $5 contribution)
        6:45        Gary Ferrari, Executive Director IPCDC
        7:15        John Sabo - Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing

        Directions:

        Lockheed/Loral in Lexington MA.  This facility is located off
        route 128 at the route 2A/Lexington exit.  Proceed West 200yds
        from route 128, turn Left into an industrial park.  The meeting
        is in the first building on the left (after the guard shack).

        The Council has had an active and informative meeting season,
        with topics running from Analog Electronics to Zycon's Buried
        Capacitor Technology.  We hope to continue to bring you, the
        designer, genuine content and enrichment in the coming year.
        But we need your help!  The Steering Committee currently needs
        more voices, please get involved!  Steering Committee meetings
        are held on the 2nd Tuesday of each month, at the Victoria's
        Station Restaurant in Burlington (across from the Burlington
        Mall on Middlesex Turnpike), at 6pm.  Hope to see you there!
