Thanks for the update -- a bit more news, with photos
Thanks very much for this update! I corresponded with Michael about 2 weeks ago, and he sent along several photos of the balance and fine regulator assembly. The latter was at that time being tweaked by Volker to resolve some minor issues, and my hope is that he has accomplished that and has moved along to further tasks. Michael also passed along a few shots of their optical balance timing rig and a timing sheet, for the technically inclined.

Keep going, Volker! And thanks to Michael for having improved dramatically the timeliness and quality of information flowing from the Vyskocil atelier.
Best,
Gary G
