“Because much of this is still experimental, it calls for a lot of dimensional measurements. In building components so sensitive to deviations from the ideal, measurement and verification is both crucial and almost endless.”
“We can push the conductor bundles as much as 3/16 of an inch, though it's rare we have to do that. For analysis, the software report is dumped to a spreadsheet. This data guides the coil-winding team in loosening the clamps and tweaking the alignment of the conductor layers, helping us get the coil in the right place with minimal manipulation.”
