Jeff B and crew (Andres, Mitchell, Joe D, Chris S) and grounding plugs to and loaded eight of the nine HXTS and the OMC into the modified HAM ISI storage container this morning. The work went more quickly than we estimated.

All the suspensions loaded thus far looked very good after their couple of years in the wine barrels. All magnets are still in place, no "rust" was noted on the blades or wires, no masses have shifted on their stops, and no wires have broken. There was no visible contamination on any of the suspension parts. Particle counts taken before, during, and after the work show <100 counts of 0.3 micron particles and less for larger particle sizes.
