      Overall there was good support from the CACs at the Ievdew Meeting, In
      particular Bb U Mated the foamed product pursued,

      There is some doubt as to the experimental capabilities of Surteg
      University and the work so far done there mag have to be repented, 3A1IGS

      Bio-Research will bC looking at the beat transfer product in 2 to 3
      months, The slim cigarette is in the gwue of work, About b samples
      per annup can be handled and some work will be done externally,

      go far all sample cigarettes sent to B d W hale been made in the
      Manuella but now a Mk PIII conversion has permitted manufacture at
      l0~mlmin (15000 cigslmin), A circumference range of 13 mm to 20 mm is
      possible,

      B b IJ is Ilkelg to handle all physical measurements an slim cigarettes
      - the 17 ma cire~nference has been selected and black cigarette paper
      will be used,

      During the pear to-date 802 of effort has been applied on behalf of
      Bb U,

      On spin-moulding, paper developments are nearly complete,
      Germany - used spin-moulding mlc to make coneeeJ filter,
      Wiggins Teape - there is concern regarding the colmnercial return
               on the papeftealbag filter, vhilst already
               expending effort on thermoplastic and other
               cigarette and plug wrap papers,

      Consider asking Malaucene if it is possible to Laser perforate a
      half-vidrh of the thermoplastie paper,                    JAl


      B d W have given the go-ahead to develop MR II BARCLbY to overcome the
      possibility of overtipping follbuing the contour of the gr6ovel

      Tbe Cenid filter will go for market test in USA February 1985 and also
      carry foil embossing,

      ~ies ~iI~ Il filter allows 152 unfiltered smoke(

      Poil embossing on tipping papter is possible at 8000 impressions/min,
      B b W is not interested in on-line foil impressions,

      The 198311986 programme has pot been followed e~ctlg· due to receipt of
      specific individual CAC re~uestsl There has been, however, a limited
      amount of work on all projects,

      The food process extrusion work at Norvich is onlgoing and looks very
      promising, ii feasibility study an extruders has revealed the
      rmelmodel which vill be re~dred aad is curnnclg on a sfx-moaehe O
      delivery,
