Monday (8/1)

After a bunch of paper work, BSM was given a 100 foot, 100 ton transfer table that was used at AAI Corp. to move light rail cars. This table was no longer needed and was donated tot eh museum on the understanding that the museum would have to disassemble it. After review with the AAI maintenance staff and safety department, an acceptable method was agreed to and Ed Amrhein and I started to remove the bolts. Of the about 500 bolts, Ed and I got about 1/3 of them removed. This was no easy task and required an air impact wrench.

Ed and I continued removing the bolts from the transfer table. We left just enough in to prevent the side I-beams from falling to minimize the time need to get ready for the lift of the six I-beams.

A careful review of track 4 indicated that a short section needs to be lowered slightly.
