=== Transmission Testing ===
The main question to be answered by testing the transmission rate of the fibers is to determine how well we need to polish the fibers. This is done by cutting a 25.625” length of fiber into four segments, gluing those segments back together, testing in the dark box and comparing the results to the control fiber. The segmented fiber will be polished three different ways:

This is done by cutting a 25.625” length of fiber into four segments, gluing those segments back together, testing in the dark box and comparing the results to the control fiber. The segmented fiber will be polished three different ways:
* The first is using only with the emery board leaving a rough polish

* The second adds the use of the three buffer boards
