BSC-7
The dome was removed by the Apollo crew, led by Randy Thompson. The operation went pretty smoothly although the dome still lists to one side and counter-weight must be used to keep it level during transit. The o-ring protectors were installed on the flange (6 sections)and C-3 soft covers were installed on both the door and the dome.

Mark Layne, Zack Haux and I garbed up after lunch. Mark and Zack removed the one electrical feed-through on the chamber and it was wrapped for storage. Zack went into the chamber and installed support tube/bellows protection (C-3 covers)on the west support tube. Mark prepared the 60" dust barriers and Zack installed them in the north and south beamtubes. We thought that the west beamtube nozzle might be a different size than the others but it wasn't true. Turns out that once we got some experience with installation, the dust barrier fit much better. We still have a little work on that dust barrier as the Viton rim is lost somewhere on site. (If nothing else we'll cut and clean a new one.)

The other tooling is ready to go tomorrow: the compressor trailer is in the high bay (close to the BSC), the hose is there too, six tools are cleaned and in the staging area-two with shrouds attached so we can get started tomorrow.
