1800: Spent majority of the day moving AIDA forward and into EURICA.
So far everything seems to fit very well, we have just noticed a few points of possible mechanical conflict that should be watched when inserting/removing AIDA into EURICA
- Overhead LN2 pipes are lower than the top of the FEE tower. These have been loosely cable tied to some other cables to keep them away from AIDA. Need to make sure they don't move upon filling of LN2
- Yellow water pipe at front of AIDA may be pinched by EURICA structure upon full closure. Will check first time we close.
- Horizontal screw at base of nose is the most rearward point of contact and means AIDA cannot be inserted further than this. Already sufficiently far into EURICA so not a problem in that sense.
- Table itself can be moved to within ~5cm of EURICA structure without disturbing cabling along floor too much or touching rails.
- Front leg fits easily under EURICA structure.
Due to the number and file size of the photos, I can't upload them here so have made them available at:
