After lunch on Friday, a crew accessed BSC2 through BSC3 and removed the beamsplitter suspension. The operation went very smoothly: all but four dog clamps were removed, four people supported the sus, and then two people removed the four dog clamps. Slick! Sus was transported out through BSC3 and is now laying on the LVEA floor. 

Since John was in chamber, I asked him to inspect the gate valves so he could comment on their cleanliness.
