Ribbon Cables Removed from Bend Cube Insides

[Jeff, Daniel]

In preparation for installing the custom tapped CF Flange Bases onto the Holometer Bend Cubes, Jeff and I took off the end cube top, moved them away from the cube, and removed the ribbon cables from the Bend Cube insides. In order to do this, we needed a flat head screwdriver to remove a plastic cap and a 3/32" hex ball key to unscrew the ribbon cable terminator from the flange. We then needed to screw the cap back into the ribbon cable terminator so that it can be easily gripped and removed. We then replaced the end cube top CF Flanges and screwed them in finger tight so the top don't come loose when we turn the cubes onto their side. We stored the ribbon cables and some of its screws in foil and a labeled pouch in the white south cabinet in B111B.
