Andrew and I worked on mounting bundle 401 on the popsicle stick in Configuration 5. After several failed attempts to align the fibers, I taped a box to the desk in a position to resemble the dark box. Maybe that will help us get the fibers into the right alignment.

3/20: Andrew and I polished Sci-Fi Bundle 1 from 3/6/2018. I had him working on the wrong end, however. I was thinking about giving that end some more time with 400 grit, but I had Andrew polish it with 5 micron grit. I turned it around after he left and polished the end I want fused all the way down to copier paper.
So for Bundle 1, the end that would be polished with the screw on the left is finished. The end that would be polished with the screw on the right is not finished.
I asked Dr. Jones about Bundle 2, which has two fibers that are not getting polished. He said it looks good. I should finish polishing it with the fine grits and not worry about the less polished fibers until later, if at all. I might polish them individually, but that would be after fusing.
