Hi,

 

We’re one day earlier than the plan I stated on Monday.

 

Attached please find the photos that Frank Toldo (Thanks !) has pleasantly sent me.   You can see that they first used the crane to move the Magnet

as far as it can to be near the door of 912.  In the last two pictures, you can see that the Magnet/Frame is sitting on certain “roller(s)” and the rollers are

on a plate ---- which extends from Bldg. 912 to outside Bldg. 912 ---- like a red carpet to some Hollywood event,  but this is more like “steel carpet”.   

 

I understand that the Magnet/yellow-frame is still just inside Bldg. 912 and tomorrow they’ll roll it on the steel plate and then lift it to the transportation

truck  … => 1008.

The magnet is now in position at the door in 912. Tomorrow they will roll it out and put it on the truck. Then it will be on its way to 1008 where we have room for it to sit on the floor.
