Dear Tim,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I want to follow up to my earlier email (now that I got over the initial shock that my baby is not perfect). First, the Hall D crew are top notch highly competent profession technicians, and as I reread my email, I want to say that I should
not couple the bracket problems with the broken module joint. While we have some challenges with the last inner mounting brackets (and may need to change them), it is likely that the module joint failure was due to plethora of possibilities including a bad
glue joint. Seeing many people poking and prodding the TOF yesterday was a bit nerve-racking. We sholuld talk more about the inner brackets this coming week. I also wanted to discuss touching up the paint on the main TOF frames, but I’m afraid to ask as
it may end up orange and blue.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Yours very truly,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>

Dear Tim,

<div class="">Beni pointed out the broken module today. I am alarmed that this happened. While adjusting the brackets in the central region is challenging, there should be NO force placed on the module PMT ends. I want to really stress this point. If
we have a problem with the mounting then we should better design the central brackets. I’m thinking that we should replace the double bracket with a new design going back to a single bracket adjustment. This could likely be done with a redesigned collar
which has a central tab for bracket connection. This way we could use a much narrower brackets.</div>
