Chamber is being rotated this morning to start potting on the next endplate. All plugs and standoffs have been glued on this endplate.

There were clearance issues as we were trying to position the chamber to pot the other endplate.

The magnet rail needed to be removed so that we could position the chamber properly.

Also, we are limited to how much we can rotate the chamber.

Camera settings give this image a yellow hue...sorry :P

Because of this clearance issue, we couldn't even rotate the chamber 270°, but I don't even know if we will ever need to rotate the chamber this much.

We got around this by shifting the entire chamber/strongback/upper shaft forward several inches.

Potting has been completed.

Mylar window installation will begin tomorrow.
