Sorry this is so late this week, but at least it will be up before this weekend.
Not
a lot of shop work per say got done over the last weekend. It was
Chicago Days, in which we were paying tribute to the event that took
place 50 years ago. That was the day in June that the last street car
ran in Chicago. So this year on Chicago Days, we had a slide show and
tours on Saturday. There was also a lot of historic equipment that
normally doesn't see the light of day out for people to see. Sunday was
little more reserved, but we still were able to provide a good
experience for those that visited. Much thanks to those in the Car
Department and other departments that helped prep the cars and displays
for a big weekend. Work resumed on Monday and the restoration continues.
Respectfully submitted,
Joel Ahrendt

Ah yes, I have made such Jibs myself. If it were me, I would add in each corner an angled piece from the base to the Jib to act as sway bracing. [...]
