Line 6: Line 6:
  * Received many parts from i-ject for BFRM (took pictures and took them into ATC cleanroom).
  * got quotes for PRM/SRM payload from i-ject.
  * Checked quotes and asked for some modifications.)
  * Washed parts (parts for type-A, small hexagons, screws, etc\)
  * Wiped 9 piano wires and sent to Kamioka for PR.
  * pdated Fabian's EQstop parts for BS recoilmass and updated EQstop assy drawings.
 * Fabian
  * Worked out geometry for blade adjustment.
  * Designed additional ballast masses for BS BF (and SR).
 * Mark and Enzo (at Kamioka)
  * Did two rounds of adjustment of the blades with help from Takahashi-san (one for position, one for frequency)
  * Surveyed the position of the rod using the vertical mode of the bubble level.
  * Got apparent improvement as judged at the IRM-IM EQ stops (but still not perfect).
  * Did one more round of blade adjustments (without Takahashi-san)
  * Got good agreement with IRM-IM EQ stops, so put BF cap on and raised the whole system to check for balance.
  * Found balance still fairly bad: about the same on the -X,+Y diagonal and about half on the +X,+Y diagonal (70 and 30 mm worth of motion of a single trim mass respectively; previous a bit over 70 mm each).
  * From the imbalance torques, calculated the offset of rod as 2.3 mm in the direction 22 degrees to the +X side of -Y.
  * Calculated the blade adjustments required: {-0.325194, -1.79175, 2.11695} mm
  * Prepared to apply adjustments (removed cap etc).
  * Did drawings of SR damper.
 * Mark, Fabian, Enzo and Hirata-san (at Kamioka):
  * Took the end plate off the IM to get access to the pitch/roll picos.
  * Found the pitch pico was unreliable and replaced it.
  * Found the springs were not stiff enough, and immobilized 7 turns at the end of each with Cu wire to make them stiffer.
  * Reassembled and rebalanced the IM.
  * Reassembled and adjusted the IRM.
  * Discovered that the transverse offset between IRM and IM could be corrected by adjusting the roll of the BF.
  * Adjusted IM OSEMs to half-way.
  * Made and installed a new pair of wires for the BF yaw pico on the IM pico adapter (Hirata-san).
  * Installed an improved LVDT cable made by Hirata-san.
  * Made and hung posters for the Elites meeting visitors.
