Today's Staging Bldg Hot Yoga Studio Activities

With the Staging Bldg Hot Yoga Studio at a balmy 77deg F (probably 25deg hotter inside our cleanroom/yoga suits), we practiced several SEI Hot Yoga Poses:

Yoga Pose#1:  HAM6 ISI Optics Table on Granite Table   (Corey, Eric, Jim W)

This table is now on the Granite Table and ready for lots of helicoils to be installed.  There was some damage on an edge of this table (scratch mark with traces of blue paint engraved in the scratches); this damaged occurred while the Optics Table was stored in the LVEA--it must have been rammed into during LVEA activities.

Yoga Pose#2:  GS13 Tests (Corey, Hugo)

Went through a suite of tests to determine optimal angular positions (if any) for Horizontal GS-13s.  For the four we looked at, we were able to find good positions for 3 of them; no matter what we tried for the 4th GS13, it always yielded "stuck-mass" spectra.  These GS13s are now stored on the shelves and Hugo will look at the Vertical GS13s.
