Two PR04 modules (Numbers 46 & 48) from the LHCb Vertex Locator (VELO). Forty-two such modules make up the VELO which provides high precision tracking close to the LHC interaction point so that decay vertices of B hadrons may be distinguished from the primary interaction vertex. Liverpool would also provide the 4x2 cables that would attach to the modules, mounted on carbon fibre stands, by Liverpool University LHCb group, 1997-2007
