• A-Latch is firmly engaged.  Now working on the MSTL (Multi-Setting Torque Limiter), wanting to see it slip as that will ensure the correct torque on the bolt.
• #222 by Ford Mustang on 14 May, 2009 15:45
• MSTL slip was seen.  Good job with the torquing.

• Ok, so what is next now? Gyroscopes?
• #239 by Ford Mustang on 14 May, 2009 15:53
• Drew's glove check has a nick in the turtle neck on the left hand, not serious at the moment.  Right glove looks good.
  
  I've got to finish some class work, was fun seeing them put WFC3 into the HST.  I'll let Ron take over again.
