- All of the electrode components are on hand and have been dry fitted by Ben Schaumloffel and Bubba Bullard in the TL1337 clean room
- Ball electrode shell, shed, from Pierce end, and back end with holes for easier assembly have been polished
- This is a picture of the assembled GTS electrode showing the back end with the three holes.
- A brand new pure alumina R30 insulator is welded to a 10" CF flange. This flange is the latest design with holes for S&A tooling, and was vacuum fired at 400 C for about 50 hours. Thee flange-ceramic assembly is stored in our HV cabinet (# 9).
- We should do a leak check of the ceramic assembly.
- We should have a second pure alumina R30 insulator welded to one of the two remaining 10" CF vacuum fired flanges, as a spare set.
- The electrode needs to be put together onto the R30 pure alumina assembly.
- Use dummy puck and hand over electrode-insulator assembly to S&A
- At this point electrode assembly will be ready for installation in the 18" gun HV chamber
