James and Raith community:
Earlier this morning, I believe, a bearing failed in the air handler
that provides clean, tempered air in the Raith room. The bearing
replacement is under way and should be completed by about 12:30.
However, until that is operational, the room will likely be dirtier than
normal and, more importantly, may experience somewhat wider than normal
temperature fluctuations.
I don't know if we have an accurate and easily visible temperature
monitor in that room, but folks should be on the lookout for
temperature-induced problems. While we hope that this will not become a
serious problem, anyone doing very high resolution work, in particular,
may wish to defer their write until things have been properly repaired
and stabilized.
Thanks,
John
