A couple of weeks ago Ray and Jim dug holes for cabinet number two.
This runs signals on the east side of the door (Signals 39 – 50).
During the week concrete was poured and now the cabinet is ready to
mount. The only thing that needs to be done to the cabinet before we
mount it is the couple of holes in the floor needs to be fixed.
Most
of the dwarf signals are now supplied with wiring and conduit thanks to
Ray and Gerard. Gerard has also been repainting several of the signals.
On
Saturday July 12, Steve Lewkowycz using a jack raised Signal 37 (Three
Light Color Light Signal with red on top) about an inch up on the pole.
This was done because the hole for the wiring was covered by one of the
clamps. Signal 28 (A B&O color position dwarf) was rewired by Steve
because the existing cloth wire was cracking and the insulation was
falling off.
On Sunday July 13, Steve L and Jim wired Signals
37, 36, and 32. Signal 36 needed sockets and Steve L. installed new
sockets in this signal. New control boards have been built and an
additional board was installed to run these signals what were wired.
Respectfully Submitted for the Display crew,
Joel Ahrendt

I was not around at the time. General discussion suggests that it was "pretty marginal" in a number of areas. Nigel

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. [...]
