Assembly of the double pendulum

 
 
The top plates are made from box-section stainless steel elements. There are nozzles in each layer in order to allow damping material to be filled in. Here Mike and Calum apply fluid graphite-doped RTV to the top plates. A rather messy affair!   By contrast the wiring of the control devices is a very delicate affair. The top plate has been inserted into the tank. From the intermediate round table the coil holder goes down. Below one can see a dummy mirror. Calum and Benno fix the wires of the coils.
