(Andreas, Jeff B., Craig & Virginio) Modified the jig to string the wire, see pictures Nominal load 146lbs = 66.36kg => used 66 kg (nominal values read on the weights) Wire music steel wire diam 1.1 mm Distance between the aluminum parts the hold the clamps (425 +- 0.3) mm ( see picture) Used two 10 mm spacers to get to 425 mm. This should bring the clamps' distance to 455 mm as shown in drawing https://dcc.ligo.org/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=63179. We need to design a couple of parts to have a better way string the wires.
