Hot Water Fiber Bending Procedure (view source)

Before beginning the bending procedure, you will first need to determine the most appropriate position for the fibers in the particular bundle you are constructing. The cross-sectional width of the fuse sites vary from fiber to fiber. To avoid having a row or column in the bundle that is larger or smaller than another, fuse site measurements are made and fiber position is optimized. The orientation of the fibers are noted in the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Au8hObtMJhV3dGRWUk5rSnRiOVlqQVJOY0gzYmQtS2c&usp=drive_web#gid=15 Bundle Names Google document] and labeled so that orientation can be controlled for the bending process, effectively choosing the final position of the fiber in the bundle.

To properly fit all of the fibers into the bundle some will have to be axially rotated 90 degrees. To visually assist with determining which fibers are in which orientation all of the fibers are flagged with their name (a letter or number). When the flags are vertical, either up or down, the fibers are in their (a) position and when the flags are horizontal they are in the (b) position as illustrated in the matrix below.
