- Hirata-san:
- 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).
