We ran into a problem with one of our crimpers. While checking the gap, it seemed a little on the loose side. This was tested using a crimp pin with a scrap piece of sense wire. As I attempted to adjust the crimpers, it didn't seem to tighten. The adjusting screw was unscrewed significantly with no change in gap. It appears the spring is at its minimum and will not allow the crimpers to compress further. Also, one of the teeth on the crimpers is much smaller than the other, thus requiring the crimper adjustment screw to be "tighter" than other crimpers. Both can be seen in the following picture:
78 sense wires were strung today.
Pre-filters were changed this evening.
