UWash Tiltmeter (BRS) installation continues!
Jeff K., Krishna V., Erik S.

Today we started with the assembly of the left arm of the vacuum can. The older flexures on the balance were damaged during transport so we replaced them with another pair Krishna had brought. We then inserted the balance into the 6-way cross and suspended it successfully. We were then adjusting masses on the balance to lower the resonance frequency close to 10 mHz. By the end of the day we got the frequency close to 20 mHz. 

Pictures of the assembly process attached in assembly order!
