 * Type B Past Week Summary
  * Mark and Fabian worked at Kamioka with Fujii-san:
   * We attempted to measure the tilt sensitivity of the accelerometers by adding shims under the legs but gave up when we discovered that picking up and putting down the accelerometer perturbs the zero point even without shims. We will probably need a special tilt stage to do this properly.
   * We took some frequency and Q measurements. The results were amplitude dependent. Joris thinks that this is due to not operating the accelerometers close enough to zero DC output.
   * We set up for a test of the geophone noise. One geophone is reading half the output of the others - one of the adapter cables is broken.
  * Hirata-san:
   * Received extra compensation masses and washed them.
   * Received PI guides, assembled them and shipped them to Kamioka.
   * Received backup set of pillar for security structure (with M10 instead of M12 holes at top).
   * Removed adhesive from base of BS flags in preparation for regluing.
   * Did assembly drawings for cable clamps and other add-on parts for BF and SF.
 * Type B ongoing issues
  * Wires
   * Need to decide RM wire thickness and order BS and RM wires. Lead time is a few days from Nilaco.
  * OSEMs
   * Akutsu-san is working to get wide-mouth OSEMs
  * Longer cables for BF->PI and SF->PI.
   * Connectors RECEIVED, cables being made.
  * Feedthrough Adapters
   * Connectors RECEIVED.
  * SR machining test ONGOING.
  * Installation stuff
   * "Ceiling" work in BS clean booth (removal of second floor section) scheduled for Fri 7/1.
   * Assembly frame construction scheduled for 7/4
  * Ballast masses for payload
   * Initial batch received - ordered extra smaller ones to allow for adjustments.
  * Lower breadboard stuff
   * Installation to be incorporated into the procedure document. Mark/Takahashi to discuss.
   * Breadboard springs (in manufacture, expected end of July)
   * Nail-head parts - ordered with assembly frame, will arrive next week.
  * Documents
   * BS Assembly Procedure [[http://gwdoc.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=4235| E1504235]], [[https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=D5CCFA70A378E0D0!195&authkey=!AM_usynuo9QI57g&ithint=folder,webloc|E1504235 draft]]		  * Mark, Fabian and Enzo continued BS Test Hang work:
  * We installed the BF fishing rod stepper motor adaptor cable.
  * We tried to install the BF LVDT cable but first we encountered trouble routing it, and then several wires broke at the D-Sub end.
  * We laid 6 in-air cables from the tank to the PR2 rank for BF and SF picos, steppers and LVDTs.
  * We lifted the BF/IRM/IM/RM/BS section to weigh it and check its balance.
   * It was 195.6 kg, which is 18 kg(!) less than the capacity of the SF.
   * There was a major imbalance in roll: with all four built-in trim masses moved up the +Y end, it still needed 270 g of extra trim mass to be level.
  * Unfortunately when we put the payload, the IM was slightly yawed and ended up on the horizontal EQ stop screws. This let the IM-BF maraging rod go slack, which disturbed the leveling of the IM (because every time it is picked up the maraging rod settles in a different place, giving a different suspension point). We may have to partly disassemble the IRM and rearrange the time mass on the the IM.
  * We shipped BS mirror box parts to Shoda-san and components for a new LVDT cable to Hirata-san.
  * We posed for pictures of the BS by a team from National Geographic.
 * Hirata-san
  * Did parts and fastener lists for the SR payload.
  * Did a 3D model with the SR suspension on the BS assembly frame (to help Mark make adjustments to the frame design).
  * Did 2D drawings of Fabian's concept for BS EQ stop parts.
  * Did a 3D model of a wire clamp with replaceable jaw parts (to avoid having to reuse parts with scars from pressure).
  * Did 2D drawings of a new wire clamps for on top of the BS and SR RMs.
