I need to learn the fiber numbering scheme being used in the lab, but for now I have my own, which involves placing the bundle on the styrofoam as if it were time to polish. The top of the bundle is then the uppermost side when the fibers are put against the wheel, and there are 6 rows and 5 columns. Looking at the end of the bundle to be polished, fibers 1 to 5 in my own scheme are in the top row from left to right, and each row below includes the next 5 fibers counted left to right. Therefore the bottom row consists of fibers 26 to 30. I need to translate my numbers into the standard system in the lab once I understand it.

I explained my way of numbering the fibers, and Jim said it would be all right as long as I document it with a diagram.
Using my personal numbering scheme, I can say that in bundle 407 fiber 15 has the most evident flaring. I think I have identified it as the one with three pale orange bands and one yellow band. It's hard for me to tell whether there is more than one shade of orange, though.

I polished bundle 407 with 1 micron grit by mistake, thinking it was 0.3 microns, and then went on to 0.3 microns. I finished off the bundle with copier paper and asked Jim to look at it. Jim said the fibers were well polished, but the front collar was not holding them right and some of them were pushed out of position and damaged. He told me to identify the color codes of the damaged fibers.
