The camera shutter design is complete. Assembly drawings are needed to complete the drawing package - Mary is working on them. A meeting was held in February to discuss motion control and motor electronics issues with electronics engineering. A request was made to consider adding proximity switches to the design to aid in motion control. The linear motors and associated components, minus the power supplies, have arrived.
Fasteners are still on order.
Parts manufacturing has begun. Fabrication of the first shutter has started. After further consideration, the redesign of the center field guide camera mechanical layout looks promising. Initial designs for a cantilever arm on which the optics would mount and rotate in and out of the field have been examined. Space availability in the front of the instrument is now being investigated.
