Hello Time-Nits,
Ended up with a little free time and the saw nearby, so did some more cutting on the cesium beam tube today. Links to some pictures are provided for your enjoyment. 1. http://207.224.127.233/CsTube/CsTube9.jpg The first shot shows the new surgery. There is a U shaped metal shield around the microwave waveguide (the copper portion) and I removed a section from most of one side. This shield has the coil of yellow wire at the bottom. I also cut a window (removing the bottom and side) in the next shield out that is kind of a cross between a V and U shape. 2. http://207.224.127.233/CsTube/CsTube10.jpg <http://207.224.127.233/CsTube/CsTube9.jpg> The second shot shows the cut out shields again at a slightly different angle. The beam path is from the NW to the SE in the picture (north up). 3. http://207.224.127.233/CsTube/CsTube11.jpg <http://207.224.127.233/CsTube/CsTube9.jpg> The third shot shows the beam path pretty well. You can see the holes for the beam in the ends of the Y shaped waveguide (RF enters the bottom of the Y). You can also see another coil around the beam path, I take it this is the C-field coil. A think the coil around the bottom of the shield is the degaussing coil. The four wires that you see are the connections for these two coils. 4. http://207.224.127.233/CsTube/CsTube12.jpg <http://207.224.127.233/CsTube/CsTube9.jpg> The last shot shows the whole tube as it stands now. Now to find the time to cut a wooden base and fashion a couple of standoffs to set it on.
