Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Drop weight

Hi nAll,
 
Making some progress! I successfully tested the 1,500 # drop weight latching mechanism today! To simulate the worst case scenario I assembled all linkages bone dry with no lubrication and I was still able to get both latches to move, although lever effort was high.
 
I'm hoping to finish plumbing by the end of February, and electrical by the end of March.
 
If I can do those things, I should be tested and ready by July.
 
Best Regards,
 
Jim K
