Abstract :
246 superconducting quadrupoles of ten different kinds have to be built for the HERA proton machine at DESY, Hamburg, West Germany. After several prototypes were made and tested in the SACLAY laboratory the mass fabrication was committed to industry. Three different European firms have been selected to build both the magnets and their cryostats. The technology transfer from laboratory to industry, the fabrication control, and the results on the first magnets made are described
