    -The entire pressure vessel assembly including the water cooling jacket. Built around prefab René 41 billets already drilled and threaded
        Machining the beveled edge on the interior of the hole only was done locally
    -High pressure tube sections with fittings - including custom Ag solder of 1/8 SS tubing to standard 60k fittings. An experiment still in progress...
    -Custom power supplies, signal amplifiers, and related electronics, for control of T and P with LabView
