PR3 (HLTS) M1 and M2 addable mass distribution visual inspection
[Stuart A, Travis S]

A request was made from Matt H and Jeff K to provide the distribution of addable mass used on the LHO PR3 (HLTS) suspension. Unfortunately, in this instance the paper-trail (and ICS trail) quickly ran cold. The distributions had been captured for subsequent suspensions, just not unfortunately for the first assembled PR3.

It was therefore necessary to conduct a visual inspection, and with the assistance of Travis, we were able to determine the following:-

M1 addable mass:-
M1 (upper) = 100+100+20+10 = 230g (+ nut)
M1 (lower) = 100+100+20+10 = 230g (+ nut)

M1 sliding masses:-
M1 roll adjustment, protruding ~11-12mm towards LF side
M1 pitch adjustment, ~centred

M2 addable masses:-
LF (front) = 100+20 = 120g, RT (front) = 20g (refer to pictures for fixing screws & nut arrangements)
LF (back) = 0g, RT (back) = 100+20 = 120g (refer to pictures for fixing screws & nut arrangements)

M2 sliding masses:-
M2 pitch adjustment, protruding ~2mm towards back

Many pictures have been taken during this inspection of PR3, a choice selection of which can be found attached below.

Image 866, Storage barrel lifted and removed, revealing PR3.
Image 851, M1 and M2 masses taken from front of suspension.
Image 857, Close-up of M2 taken from front of suspension.
Image 862, Close-up of M2 taken from back of suspension.

N.b. naming convention used is consistent with M1 stage BOSEMs, which are fitted to back of the suspension.
