TMSX telescope moved to the VEA and installed - TMSX cables attached to the table top

TMSX telescope moved by Genie from the TMS lab to the VEA.  The telescope suspension wires were attached, and the telescope is now suspended.  The upper mass is still locked by EQ stops.  The vertical safety wire is installed, and the swing stop assembly is positioned under TMSX.  A rod on the swing stop assembly goes through two eye bolts on TMSX, preventing it from swinging into the QUAD.

Gymnastics of turning the telescope 180 degrees was documented more thoroughly in pictures today.

The telescope safety support beams were installed Wednesday (my idea), which mean the Genie would not fit under the upper structure, so we rotated the front beam out of the way after removing 3 of 4 bolts.

I returned to EX after lunch and attached the 4 cables to the ISC table.  Cables come from the clamp in the center of the upper mass, attach to raised wire clamps, and connect to the cable brackets on the ISC table.  They will need further tweaking after the upper mass is freed, to make sure they are not touching.

Pictures added later.

Here are a few action photos from the TMS Table/Telescope install yesterday (& as usual, ALL TMS photo documentation is on ResourceSpace, here).

Pictures showing telescope optics protected by Alpha wipes, the swing top assembly, and cables.

1 - view from the floor - swing stop assembly on the left - telescope optics covered with large Alpha wipes
2 - swing stop assembly attached to TMSX
3 - CB-7
4 - CB-8 cables to upper mass
5 - CB-8
6 - CB-7 cables coming from upper mass  
7 - CB-8  cables coming from upper mass
For the cables in pictures 6 and 7, the peek zip ties are temporary to ensure connectors don't fall on the TMS optics.
