, 17:18, 9 June 2014→Setting Up The Plates
The entire bending unit consists of a long unistrut support, the bending plate with threaded metal rods, and two chimney plates. These plates are aligned and clamped together with 4 C-clamps. Do not attach both chimney plates at this stage in the procedure. You must place 15 of the fibers into Chimney Plate 2 before securing Chimney Plate 1 and completing the bundle.

The unistrut (long gray bar) should be underneath the bending plate (blue plate with green and yellow rods, and pink collars) and between the two chimney plates (blue plates with yellow chimneys).]]
