Inclinometry on the evening of 970605

Summary

• CW inclinometry following the welding of track joint 6/7.
• new track model installed

Inclinometry started at 20:00 - mean temperature of antenna legs 6C, falling to 3C at end => an average of 4.5C.

Changes of as much as 3" are seen, principally at azimuths 195 and 292, where the wheels 3 and 2 traverse the joint. A new track model was created and installed. The difference between this model and the previous one of 970529 is shown here . The interpretation is similar to that following the 970417 work.

This is the last of the joints to be welded, and was celebrated with a feast
