[Nhcoll-l] insect pins

[Andy Deans]

Hi all,

There was some chatter recently on the Entomological Collections Network
listerv about which insect pin is best - brand, style, etc. My colleague
and I are following up with a short survey about insect pins, the results
of which will inform some tests we are designing with engineers at Penn
State. Do you have a specific pin type you want to test? Let us know!

We're also happy to receive samples of pins for testing (especially no. 2
size) - even just a couple pins - as this will increase the number of
replicates and will hopefully represent different dates of manufacture for
the pins we already have. We *really* need no. 2 stainless steel Elephant
brand pins, which I know are more precious than gold. Any leads are
appreciated!
