Checked Out

Here's the set-up for the vibration test

Everything from yesterday's vibration test checked out. So today we did another one.

Each day they do a test along a different axis: x, y, or z. Yesterday they did x and today they did y. So today's was alot like yesterday's. They sit me in a “jig” that they put on the vibration table. They first put the jig on the table and shake the jig without me in it. This is to make sure the jig holds together. Then they put me in the jig and I take my little ride.

Julie gave me this picture of me on the shaker table.
