Not much to report from the Electronics team.

Things to do:

Label all equipment for each of the 'bays' so people know where to put things back.
Label all the power supplies and test equipment
Label all the racks with sensible names.
Security for the new test equipment? How top do this? Need to mark them for identification.
Need to order single core wire and solder as these are very low. 2 x 500g reels of lead-free solder. 10 x reels single core cable (useful for breadboards). Total cost will be around £100-150. Is this OK?
