TCS status update

A TCS general status has been requested. This report will focus on TCS in-vac readiness. BSCs 1, 2, and 3 will be populated with steering mirrors. BSCs 1 and 3 are populated with D1101013 assemblies. BSC 2 is populated with D1101851 assemblies. 

Both D1101013 assemblies are mostly complete. The wedge parts that attach to the chamber are kitted and ready for install. The mirrors and their sub-assembly mount D1102029 remain to be kitted. The mirrors themselves are waiting for two FTIR results to return. Most of them passed, however, two failed (E1300748) and were recleaned by Joe DeRenzis and myself. 

Both D1101851 assemblies are installed in BSC 2. They are mostly complete, the only thing needed is to install the SM2 steering mirrors and related hardware. 

Hopefully the mirror sub-assemblies can be kitted soon and TCS in-vac install will be dependent on FTIR results / door removal.
