Elevation Part and Base Flange of 10 in Vacuum Cube Removed and Custom Base Flange Attached

[Ian, Jeff, Sander, Daniel]

Ian and I removed the 10" to 4.5" zero length reducer from the vacuum cube that was the "elevated" Holometer bend cube so that we could loosen a screw so that we could later get the "elevation part" off that elevated the cube. We then installed a new copper gasket and tightened the zero length reducer "normally" to 34 Nm with 1.75" long screws (I've started testing before removing the old base to make sure these screws go in all the way.

Ian, Sander, and I then lifted the cube and loosened the last screw holding the elevation part to the base flange and removed this part. We then set the cube down and tilted it over.

Jeff and I replaced the base flange with the custom flange I made and custom aluminum base to secure the cube to the table. I tightened all the 1.75" long screws to 34 Nm. 

This cube can be flipped over and placed on the table.
