Bend Cubes Emptied and Inspected

[Jeff, Lee, Daniel]

We opened up the bend cubes from the holometer and removed their cylindrical bases, viton balls, and a few screws. We wrapped these parts in aluminum foil. We don't yet have a good system for labeling parts meant for UHV so we didn't label these parts (but it is quite obvious what is what, and I think these parts will never get used). 

The vacuum side of the base flange has 4 1/4-20 tapped holes. We could potentially use these flanges, but since we have to take off the bottom and add the custom base I made for mounting, it's probably not worth keeping these.

Both bend cubes have grime inside of them. They will have to be cleaned somewhat extensively.
