First wires assembly - training purpose
In order to be trained to make the final assembly of the aerogel trays, we (Jullianna, Arshak, Marco and Hamlet) did a series of training on how to place the wires that will prevent any eventual fall of aerogel from the tray (March 28-29 2013, at JLab). The idea will be to use the same principle used in the HMS detector, the wires will be placed just for an emergency case. The aerogel should not touch them in general, since these wires are really thin and can easily scratch the tiles.
Our first training was with a thick nylon wire, used for fishing. It was a good exercise to develop knots to make wires strained, as seen bellow.

Then we moved to the thin stainless steel wires (~150 micro-meters in diameter), spare wires from the HMS Aerogel detector. The first idea was to place wires making diagonals, as shown in figure bellow. But this idea didn't work since our detector is a rectangle, the vertical dimension is greater than the horizontal dimension (more bolts in one dimension than in the other).
The lesson taken from this test is that this wires are a more difficult to make be strained. The usage of small springs would be ideal, but if used in such a way to avoid scratching of tiles. The following pictures shows the results of this test.
