iLIGO Baffle Removal

The Baffle in BSC10 needed to be removed (because it blocked the One-Arm-Test Quad in BSC6).  This Baffle is suspended in place by springs which were attached to the Chamber.  Hugo and I were able to disconnect the springs at the chamber bracket connection.  The baffle was then laid down on the floor (see fuzzy photo) of BSC10.  The springs for the baffle appeared to be a bit oily (evident by black marks on my gloves).  We opted to not bring the baffle out because we would have had to maneuver this around the alignment tripod and the BSC6 Quad/Transmon.  We also left the four brackets in place on the chamber.

ISI Cabling

Hugo and I secured the ISI connectors in their feed-thrus via their connector screws.  We were NOT able to do this for all (3) Trillium connectors, because they were missing connector screws(!).  While doing this work, some SUS connectors were also secured to their feed-thrus.

We also went about cleaning up some of the ISI cabling.  Basically, we didn't want any of our cables to hang to low and be a possible head obstruction; also didn't want to have a seismic short from Stage0 to the Chamber (since Stage0 is floating due to HEPI).  This clean-up was accomplished by using cable clamps on Stage0.
