At Kamioka (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Perry, Hirata-san):

 * We counted the used/broken/unused/need cables for Type B.
 * Hirata-san and Mark installed blades in three LBB blade units.
 * Hirata-san checked the LBB blade units to see how badly the blade tips were misaligned. The bases will need to be moved towards the clamp end by 21 mm. It is probably not feasible to turn the screw holes into slots, so an adapter part will need to be designed.
 * We checked that the new in-vacuum geophone cables that Takahashi-san had got for us were the proper new-style ones. (Thus we will need in-air descrambler cables.)
 * Shoda-san sent Enzo a document by Joris on the tuning of the LVDTs, so he stated working through it. He also researched the specifications of all the coils (PI and SF as well as BF.)
 * We found the damper magnets and the template for placing the magnets on the ring for the SF.
 * Hirata-san installed and wired up the PI yaw stepper. The vertical stepper still needs wiring, and the horizontal stepper wiring needs to be made vacuum-compatible.
 * We installed safety bars on the ±X side of the assembly frame about 3 m off the floor, so they are at waist height for a person standing on one of the tall ladders. The one on the +X side will be very good for safety where it is, but the one on the -X side will need re-doing: it is too close and not very securely attached because of interference from vacuum pump cabling.
 * We unlocked the inverted pendulum and experimented with adding weight. It was still stable with 4 layers of arc weights.
 * We also experimented with getting both the IP centered and the security structure vertical (so that the suspension hang centrally within it). We managed to get it all right with a combination of leveling the PI with the jacks and moving the IP with the fishing rods.
 * Adjusting the verticality of the SS had left the bottom of it off-center in the assembly frame, so we picked the entire system up with the crane and moved it in +Y and -X a few mm to re-center it.
 * We started to remove the PI so we could do various adjustments (check the SF LVDT, reconfigure the Cu damper, add the hex cable clamp on the rod and hang the magnet disk for the SF damper) but gave up when the PI-SF jammed in the SF.
At Kamioka (Mark, Enzo, Hirata-san, Yoshioka-kun):
 * We disassembled the suspension.
  * We removed all the cables and bagged and labelled them for reuse.
  * The PI is parked on the pallet.
  * The SF was initially parked between the frame and tank and then manhandled to one side. The same procedure was used for the SF ring.
  * The BF was parked between the assembly frame and tank. The BF ring was stored in the top of the structure.
  * We removed various useful and no-longer-needed items from the BF, including the lower rod receptacle, thrust bearing, fishing rod and temporary ballast masses.
  * We cut the wires and removed the RM and dummy BS on the RM trolley.
 * The wire clamps were moderately deeply scarred and could probably be reused, but we plan to use the new set, which will be available on Tuesday of next week.
 * We discovered that the problem with the old BF was due to the fishing rod, which had not had a pair of lock nuts and had been damaged by being drive too high, so that the springs hit the underside of the cap and were bent at the base. We will install lock nuts and set them to the correct height for the final installation.
 * The gluing of the BS primary prisms and magnets went well, but we had to reglue the secondary prisms because they stuck to the jigs and were pulled off when the jigs were retracted. The second try went well and the BS is ready for use.
 * Fabian and Hirata-san characterized 7 new BS BF blades. There was one outlier but the rest were in a tight group.
 * Hirata-san used 3 of the new blades to build a new BF.
 * Miyo-kun and others from the Type Bp team did a lot of tidying up of the BS rack for us, and removed a lot of in-air cables running through the cleanbooth. When he returns, on 8/8, Enzo will coordinate relaying the cables in the cable trays (which were not installed when the initial cabling was done).
