RE: [RT] Globex shutdown?

A while back I looked at the info on the CME website re: the AON
(pit-traded) minis.  I got the impression it's a couple of guys with a deck
of playing cards. ;-)

Don:

In the past when Globex2 has been down and trading has been shifted to the
pit, the contract limits have been suspended, allowing 1 lot or more trading
in open outcry.  I am not sure what the status of the 30 lot and above open
outcry trading is.  I have never seen any numbers on that, even when Globex2
is working fine.

<< John,
 I also believe the pit trading of emini's was for orders of 30 or more,
 leaving the little guy out. During the shutdown I still had volumes at the
 bid and ask seemingly going through but prices stayed 1319.25/1319.50
 throughout (note the lock occurred at 1320.25 I believe). I am checking but
 could this be large lots >30 Emini's being traded in the pit?
