One more inspection before the trip to Mt. Graham |

Steve filling the pickup up again in Safford because it took 3/4 of a
tank of gas just getting there. Too much wind resistance. The maximum speed
obtainable during this trip was 55 MPH. |

Engineers preparing to host the receiver from the chamber up to the 5th
floor hatch. |

Bob Freund and Bob Moulton prepare tag line before the lift. |

The following 6 images are plots of the G forces experienced by the JT
receiver during transportation to Mt. Graham. All measurements where made
using a HiGeeLoGee
Model 30 G-Force recorder. The first three plots are on the Willcox to
Base Camp leg. This first plot is the front to back G's. |
 |
This second plot is the side to side forces on the Willcox to Base Camp
leg. |
 |
This third plot shows the vertical forces on the Willcox to Base Camp
leg. |
 |
These next three plots are for the Base Camp to Mt. Graham leg of the
trip. This first plot shows the front to back forces. |
 |
This second plot shows the side to side forces experienced on the Base
Camp to Mt. Graham leg. Notice the nearly -1.0 G force 2/3 of the way.
This was due to hitting a rut in the very muddy road and causing a large
side to side motion. |

This third plot shows the vertical forces on the Base Camp to Mt. Graham
leg. |
