==Gluing==
The first of many trial gluing sessions was completed this week (8/31-9/4) with favorable results. Only three of the eleven fibers broke after curing which is an increase from past attempts. This is attributed to the new gluing station that was designed earlier which allows the glue to stay out of contact with anything but the ends of the fibers. I plan on keeping notes on which of the eleven gluing channels produced successful fibers so that I can determine if there is a slight defect in the alignment of the two fibers.
