Bob Krause, right, prepares his troops to remove
the spiral field tube.

|

The spiral tube begins its journey out of the tank.
|

|

The nail-biting part is when we have to lift the tube over
the column...
|

...and slip it out the manway without bending, bumping or
breaking anything.
|

|

|

|

The team outside of the tank receives the
spiral tube and brings it gently to rest.

The entrance end of the spiral tube. Note the
discoloration of the electrodes from years of
beam exposure.

Mike Wells and Bob Krause swap hardware from the
spiral tube, left, to the inclined field tube, right.

|

|

The inclined tube is lifted and starts its
trip to the tank.
|

|

|

|

|

|

The inclined tube comes through the hatch.
|

|

Nail-biting time, take two: the inclined tube
comes up over the column.
|

|

|

|

|

Finally, the inclined tube comes to rest in the column.
|

|

The inclined tube in place.

|

Bob, Mike and Kevin Carnes bolt the tube down and
begin attaching various bits of hardware.

Associate lab director Kevin Carnes rests on the
hard floor of the tandem platform...
|

...while the spiral tube rests on a soft bed of foam.
