H2 BSC8 HEPI Actuator Attachment & L4-C
EricA CoreyG HughR

On Wednesday we started this process of connecting the Actuators to the Crossbeam (Foot).  We completed this yesterday long with 130lbs on extra weight on the West Crossbeam to mimic the ACB.  We then released the HEPI suspension and then made adjustments to the big HEPI Springs to bring the dial indicators back to pre-disturbed position.  We got pretty close to this but there remains some differences.  I'm confident we remain in tolerance for the translational position but the Yaw may need tweaking.
Today we made gap checks of the HEPI Actuator actuator-plate/bellows shield.  This is our motion limit and we need to insure it remains centered.  We've made some adjustments of the Actuator positions to improve this centering.  We still need to do a couple more.

We also ended the day yesterday with a stuck L4-C (Horizontal NW(Pier2)) but Eric pulled that out and gingerly freed it.  It has been reinstalled.

Here are photos from Actuator installation (most of them are for the Vertical Actuator install).
