==== Report for week of 5/7 ====
 * We inspected the wires and clamps involved in the wire break.
  * The scars on the clamp on the tungsten wire that failed had very different depths, with the one that failed being much deeper, so probably the clamp piece was not completely straight before tensioning. However one wire on the other side was also badly crushed and on the point of failing, so the tension was clearly too much.
  * We decided on new torque specs of 2 N.m for the primary clamps (down from 5 N.m) and 10 N.m (down from 20 N.m) for the secondary. The secondary clamp spec, for M6 screws, is now based on the LIGO policy of using the maximum suggested for the screw and the LIGO value for a coated 1/4-20 screw (100 in-lb = 11.3 N.m), and the primary clamp spec is derated by 2/3 from the spec for an M5 screw because the clamp pieces are recessed and only grip the wire at narrow sections along the edges, concentrating the force.
  * None of the screws showed any signs of damage.
  * All of the scars on the primary clamps were shallow enough that could reuse the clamp pieces. The tungsten secondary clamps were never tightened, and the outer pieces of piano wire secondary clamps were badly scarred but could be reused upside down.
 * We successfully rehung the SR3 and RM. In the process we noticed and fixed an issue with the assembly frame (due to an out-of-date number in the Mirapro diagram, the IM crossbars were set 3 mm too high, which would have affected the wire length).
 * We added the sections of the security structure below the RM and up to the BF.
 * We installed the TM OSEM cables and routed them up to the IM.
 * We installed the load gauge adapter and load gauge and prepared the IM/... section for weighing.
 * We removed the three cracked F0 blades from the PI #3 in the SRM, and prepared for testing prototype new blades in that PI. We removed a floor panel under the PI and set up the filter service trolley underneath it with a stack of masses for a dummy load.
 * Mirapro installed the SRM mushroom.

==== Plan for week of 5/14 ====
 * Mark, Enzo, Hirata-san, Kozu-kun at Kamioka Mon-Thu, then Osaka.
 * Weigh IM/... section.
 * Characterize F0 blade prototypes.
 * Remove F0 blade prototypes (and send for rework if necessary).
 * Start characterizing LBB blades.
 * Crane in BF.
 * Add IRM top plate, maraging rod, flying saucer.
 * Suspend IM, check pitch, roll and vertical, adjust trim mass.
 * Cable and (re-)test TM OSEMs, IM picos, BF yaw pico, BF LVDT and FR.

==== Plan for week of 5/21 ====
 * Mark, Enzo, Hirata-san, Kamioka Mon-Fri.
 * Kozu-kun at Kamioka Wed-Fri.
 * Install IRM sides, and IM OSEMs.
 * Center IM OSEMs (in/out and laterally)
 * Route all cables to underneath BF.
 * Add BF internal ballast mass.
 * Add BF cap.

==== Plan for week of 5/28 ====
 * Mark, Enzo, Hirata-san, Kamioka Mon-Fri.
 * Kozu-kun at Kamioka Mon only.
 * TBD.
==== Report for week of 12/17 ====
 * BS
  * We opened the top of the BS tank after the vent.
  * We inspected the BS F0 blades for cracks but still didn't find any.
  * We removed the arc weights and geophones, and added new longer studs for the arc weights and new cables for the geophones. We then put back the original arc weights and new geophones.
  * We measured the geometry of the various IP items to check the IP diagonalization matrices.
  * We installed the new double-sided F0 FR. We were not close to needing to add the optional !CuBe spring. Unfortunately the FR had rather less friction but still didn't work. After checking a bunch of possibilities and comparing against SRM (also non-working) and SR2/SR3 (working), we suspect the carriage may be assembled upside down, with the metal plate below and the PEEK plate above. We will try changing it next week.
 * We adjusted the F0 keystone trim mass and were able to get it to sit at CAD nominal height at nominal temperature (24.9°C) with mid-range FR and modest extra mass (413 g). Interestingly, we noticed that removing the arc weights and/or geophones reduced the load capacity by a few hundred grams.
 * We measured the total range of the IP FRs in steps and set them to mid-range in preparation for tuning the IP frequency and (re-)centering the IP.
 * SRM
  * We borrowed an LED from SR2 and set the pitch of the SRM optic.
  * We found the SRM front end had crashed and could not be properly reset by cycling the power from the web interface. Yamamoto-san eventually got it working for us, although it didn't seem to take more than restarting the user and IOP models.
  * We sealed and retested the new geophones originally intended for SRM, but decided to use them on BS instead.
  * We installed the two OL viewports. We also tried to install the camera viewport but we couldn't get the Cu gasket to sit in the recess, so we gave up and will probably reallocate the camera viewport to SR3 for now (where it will go on a different type of flange which we've had success with. Saito-san says that we can get help with the SRM flange from Mirapro on 1/28.
 * SR3
  * We opened the top of the tank briefly to inspect the configuration of the F0 FR, but didn't do any significant work.
  * Hirose-san inspected inside the bottom part of the chamber and found some dust, so he recommended we wipe with Vectra-Alpha wipes (IPA-resistant type) and IPA. he gave us a powerful LED flashlight array and asked us to use it to look for dust in all the chambers.
 * Etc
  * We gave Simon a list of items we still need for the SRM OL. He seemed to think that they should be in stock at Kamioka and will help us look for them next Tue 1/15.
  * Mark and Enzo booked flights for the KAGRA International Workshop.
  * Mark had to schedule a trip to Australia for the week of 1/21 to attend to family business.
