Claim 9:
10. The method of claim 9:
wherein receiving the cathode assembly comprises locating the cathode assembly on a first cathode stage, the first cathode stage hinged proximal the folding stage and extending laterally outwardly from the folding stage in a third direction orthogonal to the first direction with first sides of the series of cathode collectors facing the first cathode stage; and
wherein folding the first cathode interconnect comprises:
drawing partial vacuum on a third set of ports, located in the first cathode stage, to retain the cathode assembly on the first cathode stage;
pivoting the first cathode stage over the folding stage to extend the first cathode stage along a fourth direction opposite the third direction and to seat second sides of cathode collectors in the cathode assembly against a second cathode stage, the second cathode stage hinged proximal the folding stage and extending laterally outwardly from the folding stage in the fourth direction;
releasing vacuum on the third set of ports to release the cathode assembly from the first cathode stage; and
drawing partial vacuum on a fourth set of ports, located in the second cathode stage, to retain the cathode assembly on the second cathode stage.
