[PSUBS-MAILIST] CSSX update 3/2001

[MerlinSub@t-online.de (Carsten Standfuß)]

Silence here - so just a short update. 

Heavy roller cars to carry and turn section II and III during
construction final build - one awaiting final painting this weekend. 
(stern car is 15 x 6,5 feet the other 7 x 7) Both car bodys made
from strong U-frame steel 6,3 x 2,6 inch. 
 
Havy endcaps for main pressure hull (8,2 feet by 1 inch) here - also 
all cone shell parts for bow and stern. Each endcap weight 1,3 ts. 
Also the body parts for the main entrance tower are here.  

Regulators for bow and stern section ready welded to plug in. 
Body pipes for both thruster here. All main parts for stern and 
bow section are now here. 

Have started to assemble first body parts of stern section yesterday 
- and stoped just now - because the mig-welder is burning down......
(no joke..) 

Tomorrow morning I will bring it back to the dealer for a general
refit..

Will send some pictures to the best page in the internet 
in maybe 4-6 weeks.  

Still developing a new general vale drawing - looks possible 
to control all four tanks with just two three-way air vales. 

See somebody of you - maybe on a convention somewere, sometimes..
