Today Stage 1 Vibration absorbers were mostly installed. This required removing the Stage 1 doors and driving out some 1/2" dowels that were part of the pre-vibration-absorber design. The "buckets" were then added and filled with their viton pads and steel masses. Install couldn't be completed because some precision shims have gone MIA, so the lids are just held in place with screws, not tightened down. Hope to have the correct shims in hand soon.


Stage 0-1 spring TMD's were also installed and cable routing to the racks was electronically verified, the only things missing are the cable isolation brackets and the routing of the sync cables between the CPS racks. All in all we are in good shape to float and rebalance whenever other subsystems are ready.
