[Dsg-halla] cable movement

[Mary Ann Antonioli]

Bogdan,

Sumudu spoke with Mindy this morning about moving cables from ESB to the Test Lab, using his car.

It is against JLab rules to use a personal vehicle for moving JLab equipment.  We managed to borrow a government pick-up truck from another group. Sumudu and four of us from DSG spent about an hour and a half moving 14 cables to the Test Lab.  In doing this, we realized a few things.

As a group, we don't have the proper vehicle to move these cables.  We can't guarantee the availability of the pick-up truck, and a flat-bed truck would probably be better.

With the weight of these cables, machines need to do more of the work.  The repetitive lifting could cause injury.  Possibly a fork-lift could be used to remove them from the rack and move them to a flat-bed truck.  We have neither a fork-lift driver or a flat-bed truck.
