Work Progress - Day 4

We got in late tonight because we worked until 11:00 PM. We were so tired we just grabbed something from Sonic Burgers on the way home...

First off, I got the wiring cleaned up and routed to where we needed them, then the Test/Normal switch and Test Power socket were added. I'll have to finish wiring up the socket and switch with red wires tomorrow.

The door panel is in place and then I had to add a pistol grip switch and lock between the red and yellow lights. This meant that the Spotter Voltage Test dial had to be moved to the left of the yellow light.

Here are the two contactors, wired up. Tom spent most of the day cutting, stripping back and crimping connectors on the ends of the cbles. He worked hard to get the wire lengths as short as possible.

In this shot, you can see that the SCR power poles (with the green circuit boards on them) are installed, and further examples of Tom's cabling handiwork.

This is a picture of the GCC Rio Grande cement plant in Tijeras, NM and the mountain they are chewing up to use for the raw materials to make the cement. We see this view every day as we head back from lunch at Subway. I think we've eaten more than our share of sandwiches for a while. We can't figure out how Jerrod lost all that weight from just eating Subway sandwiches...
