keyword=Post-experiment check of floor plates/angle marks.
Went down into the hall to look for any obvious signs of the floor plates having been disturbed or knocked loose. None of the plates move around with gentle kicking, but there is one plate which is not totally secure. On the right arm, inner circle, the small angle plate (covering 57-60 degrees) is not securely glued/bolted down to the floor. When I attempt to shift it side-to-side or front-to-back by hand, I don't see any shift. However, there are 3 bolts and the center one is too high, so the plate is only held by the inner and outer bolt. In the middle, the plate is sitting a little bit above the floor (i.e. is arched slightly off of the floor in the middle). As I say, I cannot easily shift it, so it should still be OK for angle readings. However, there is some small question as to whether or not it is secure. Keep this in mind if we have problems with the angles read from this plate during the analysis. Bye-bye!
