3/6: Andrew and I continued polishing the sci-fi bundle with copier paper. I am not quite sure I am done. Striations and scratches are still visible on both ends. The fuse end has some steeper ones that may be deeper than those on the other end. I plan to leave that bundle in the collar for now and show someone at some point.

3/8: Andrew and I switched the strongest and weakest fibers in Bundle 401 and checked the position of all the fibers in the bundle. The fibers should remain in the same bundle positions for the rest of our normalization tests. The position numbers will not change.
I did some more fusing practice, and I cut some more short pieces and removed previous practice fuses from the long ones so I can reuse them.
3/9: I tried to align Bundle 401 for testing, but it proved unsatisfactory when I put it in the dark box. I want to develop a method of holding the fibers so they will keep the right alignment regardless of bending.
I prepared to polish another bundle of sci-fis. I tapped a new collar and put the fibers in it.
This time I want to twist the sci-fi guide to the right again (right in front and left in back), but always gently rather than sometimes putting too much force on it. Maybe then the sandpaper will reach all the fibers.
