==== Report for week of 10/22 ====
===== SRM =====
 * We borrowed the TM HPCDs from SR2 and SR3 so that SRM had HPCDs for IM-H, IM-V and GAS.
 * Fabian adjusted the last two OSEMs (IM-H2 and H3).
 * We closed the BF and weighed the BF/... section.
 * Fabian and Hirata-san routed all the BF/... cables via the BF cap (except for the four TM OSEM cables, where we're still waiting for extensions).
 * We built up the assembly frame and security structure to the SF level and craned in the SF.
 * We installed the SF-BF rod and flying saucer, and suspended the BF/... section. We will need about 600 g on the BF cap for balance and SF keystone height, which is as expected and not a problem.
 * Hirata-san collected a suitable CuBe spring and bracket parts from Type A. He ultrasonically cleaned the bracket and then installed the bracket and spring on the F0. The frequency increased from 0.5 Hz to 0.625 Hz, so he did another round of compression, from 30 mm to 31.3 mm.
 * Enzo soldered some short and/or broken cables to make longer cables that we need urgently. He got in touch with Yamamoto-san to arrange bringing them to Toyama University and ultrasonically cleaning them.
 * We pulled out cables running to the OMMT area that were used for the old OSEM/geophone testing setup and started a new geophone testing setup in the SR3 area using the optical table from the SR2 assembly frame.
 * Hirose-san reported results from his astigmatism test on the second SRM small optic and metal mass. With the tight shims (1.0 mm thickness, as used for the installed SRM) there was substantial astigmatism, but with the next looser available size (1.5 mm) there was no astigmatism but the optic is held very poorly and rattles. Hirose-san is ordering some intermediate thicknesses and will make a recommendation. However he will almost certainly suggest that we change the shims on the hanging SRM, so we need to think about whether that is feasible.

===== SR2 =====
 * Akutsu-san collected the parts we will need for the SR2 OL so that Terrence can install it next week.
 * Hirata-san supervised the disassembly of the assembly frame. The pieces are now in the IMMT area, although we may need to move them again because they're a bit in the way.

==== Plan for week of 10/29 ====
 * Mark, Enzo, Hirata-san, Fabian and Terrence at Kamioka Mon-Fri.
===== SR2 =====
 * Set up OL.
 * Possibly do a measurement of how much torque is required on the F0 keystone to move the system in yaw. (This will help Sato-san choose a suitable stepper driver for the new design.)
 * Possibly add more arc weights, to get below 0.1 Hz.
===== SRM =====
 * Continue assembly.
==== Report for week of 11/12 ====
 * BS
  * Kozu-kun noticed the BS OL was out of range, and Fabian and Fujii-kun investigated. It turns out that the temperature has risen by over 2°C, so all the GAS filters have sagged and several stages are touching. Miyoki-san and Furuta-san are looking at what can be done.
  * We ordered three more geophone cables in the standard (non-flipped pinout) to save time during the December vent, where we will replace at least two of the preamps to fix issues and take the opportunity to put in non-flipped ones.
 * SRM
  * We cabled all the SF/... through to the rack and checked that all items worked.
  * We did the vertical height survey and found that as with SR2 and SR3, the chain is longer than the CAD, this time by ≈7 mm, and again mostly between the SF and BF. We decided on a keystone height of 11.5 mm (5 mm higher than CAD), which can be achieved with 1 kg more on the SF and 1 kg in reserve for a yaw stepper mechanism. We reset the height of the yoke to give near-zero LVDT output for the new nominal height, and corrected the sensing and actuation signs, but still need to do the calibration.
  * The final SRM small glass mirror became available, so we had Hirose-san ship it to us so we can install it while the suspension is still on the assembly frame. Hirata-san ordered shims to make up the new recommended thickness of 1.4 mm and a micrometer to check the combination, which should arrive on Monday 11/26.
  * Enzo took calibration data for the last batch of geophones, for SRM. We had to borrow cables from SR2 because one cable was missing and another was miswired. And it turned out that one of the SR2 cables was defective as well. But if we can find two possibly borrowed by Okutomi-san and rewire one, we should have enough for SR2 and SRM. The geophones appear to be healthy and we will seal them next week.
  * We raised the PI clear of the assembly frame and unlocked and centered the IP. We calibrated the IP LVDTs, and reversed connections to get positive LVDT output for positive yaw. We borrowed a HPCD from SR3-IM-V for the SRM IP but haven't checked the actuation yet.
  
 * SR2
  * While we were grabbing geophone cables from SR2, we added extra arc weights to get the IP frequency below 0.1 Hz.
  * Akutsu-san showed us how to install the OL transmitter support pillar, receiver shelf and viewports. We believe we have the parts to finish setting up the SR2 OL.
