| + | * Create a linear motion device that will calibrate a set array of Scintillators |
− | | |
− | * We designed our own apparatus to cut, polish, and glue the scintillators and the waveguides. For more information on how it works, see [[Work Stand Assembly]]. | |
− | * To cut the fibers I use a standard hobby knife.
