Arrival of the first magnet for ISR

The first two magnet cores for the intersecting storage rings arrived at CERN from the manufacturers, ASGEN, on 13, 14 August. They were the first of 400 of these magnets which were to be build up the two interlaced rings. Each of them was tested in the West experimental hall and the equipment for this had already been installed by the time. The magnet section of the ISR Division had moved over to the ISR site.
