BBSS Gold Plated Wire Loop Installed
Betsy, Ibrahim
Today, Betsy and I replaced the non-plated BBSS bottom wire loop with the gold plated wire loop, which was done successfully and took roughly two hours. We've confirmed the BBSS is centered and aligned. We will monitor and inspect the BBSS in the next few days and coming week. Stay tuned for new transfer functions etc.

Went in to monitor the BBSS alignment after pulling this new wire. All alignments were the same as yesterday. I have since covered the BBSS to take TFs, which have been saved as of writing this. Next, the plan is to compare the gold plated wire loop TFs with the non-plated wire loop TFs.
