ISI HAM3 Wide Wall Balance Masses vs. SPI
J. Kissel, J. Warner

During SPI install we removed the following side-wall balance mass from the W9 side wall (see first bullet of LHO:90558):
    Plate              Mass [lbs.]   Mass [kg]    QTY    Total Mass [kg]
    D071200 Type 04    7.9           3.583        3      10.750
    D071200 Type 01    1.1           0.499        1       0.499
    D071200 Type 00    0.6           0.272        1       0.272
    D071201            0.1           0.045        3       0.136

    Total Mass                                           11.657

First attachment is a diagram to convey which side wall I'm talking about.

This is inaccurate with the latest version of the ballast / balance mass inventory, D1000907-v7, which states that this side wall has only 1x Type 04 (3.583 [kg]) and a 1x Type 03 (2.041 [kg]), for a total of 5.625 [kg]; much less.

Remember, from LHO:90504 that the total SPI mass is 12.599 [kg]. 
This *excludes* the mass of the lower ISI Shroud baffle (D2400106-v4) and the three upper HAM Table Baffles (D2600007) with all their bracketry and bolts, currently only represented only in e-drawings posted to D2400103-v6.

After talking with Jim, he wants more mass in this -X / +Y corner of the table, because that's where all the new stuff is. So he wants this corner "over" or "heavy" (because the new stuff must be in a fixed position) so that he can adjust the *opposite* corner of ballast mass (which has more open table and side wall access and thus is adjustable).

As such, he says "put all the at 11.657 [kg] back on the corner. 

So we will!

Second attachment is a picture of the wall mass arrangement prior to us removing it taken on 2026-06-09.
