Week 8

This week is to finish the rails. The rails are done at this point, but only testing is needed. I would also start on the final report for the rest of the internship once the rails are completely done. I have to make sure there is enough voltage going into the rails to make the bolgie work properly.

Week 7

This week was almost the same as last week. I am still working on putting up the copper rails. The right half is pretty much finished. The copper rail is taking longer than expected; there were several issues that happened. The rails did not match the back portion of the copper, which had to be fixed. I am expecting the rails to be finished by next week Wednesday.

Week 6

I was able to implement putting the new copper rail design onto the rail. Last week, it was to take down all the copper and drill holes and cut the copper rail to the shape needed for a better connection. This week is to actually put up the railings. This was a short week because of July 4th holiday. Putting up the copper railing is harder than expected. There are always problems with the railings; either the hole does not match up correctly or the collector shoes does not run smoothly. I plan on having a fourth of the right side of the rail finished each day. This would estimate to being finished on Thursday by next week.
