Carl's Update
Current stage: breaking, re-gluing bad glue joints. With the re-machined chimneys, we can test the new approach of holding fibers fixed to the chimney for gluing (0-80 screws with washers adjacent to fiber). Hot plate still effective with current setup (recall problems with insulation of PVC etc.) but takes longer to reach equilibrium.

Goal for next week: finish a new revision of gluing apparatus: one piece instead of two chimneys with questionable alignment. Channels rotated 45deg for better alignment between scintillator and waveguide.)

Sarah's Update
Difficult time with classes/exams. Completion of design planned over next week. Fob to the lab finally activated! Some issues of bracket with sheet metal or foil design were discussed.
