[sudo-discuss] DXF or SVG or? for scanner light fixture mount cutting for book scanner

[hol at gaskill.com]

Just looked at the instructions - are we overthinking how to illuminate
a piece of paper?  Could easily use an aluminum channel with white LED
strip to do same task.  Happy to bring these materials next tues.
