New Renner Center Pins

[Michael Spalding]

Ron (and ships?)

My first thought when I saw the groove was that they are doing something
with automated parts handling / robotic insertion, and need the groove in
order to grip or orient the pin.  I'm looking forward to Joe's report on
Renner's explanation.
