Cheyenne February Update Miller, Chris To: Miller, Chris Subject: FW: Cheyenne 30 Day Update From: Chris Welsh rmailto:chris(@deehsubllc.coml Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2015 11:26 PM To: Miller, Chris Cc: David Girling Subject: Re: Cheyenne 30 Day Update Chris, coincidentally to your update request I was in Flagstaff today reviewing the dome progress and got home an hour ago. The photo below was taken the end of last week and the second one today. It is critical that the inside and outside hemispheres are concentric; we were measuring today to make sure it is progressing as desired. We have a ultrasonic thickness measuring tool and take readings down to .1 M 4 or .004" and the concentricity looked good. In the second photo additional bracing on the platter is present; we found a week ago that the dome was trying to move on the platter so this was tended to via brace clamps and the tighter grip resulted in faster grinding. In the last month, we have been seeking the creation of the "tool' for the final polishing; today we reviewed a quick and dirty test tool that was made last week. The method appeared to work so the actual final tool is now being made. They will be looking to apply the tool to the dome as soon as it is ready which will be 7-10 days. The polishing process is 2-3 weeks, and there will come a final touch up polish by hand inside and out for a few days. Dave Girling relayed that there was some question at the last meeting as to whether the new dome had been damaged or had a crack;nothing of the kind has occurred. Someone is likely misreading the cutting marks and the felt pen or pencil marks that are part of the measurement process. One is very evident in the first photo. These are applied and re-applied as we proceed. The white crustiness is the cut dust and irrigating water splattered on the area not currently being worked; in the upper photo it has just been rinsed off. When the dome is complete and in our hands, we still have 4-5 months to fit the dome, test in PA, and re- assemble the sub. Regards, Chris Welsh http://www.deepsub[Ic.com i IWO b c � . r'
