This week we had several presenters come in to speak about Spartan Superway. They included a former congressman and a current private industry ATN professional who is a former BART engineer. The ATN professional had lots to say to the small scale track team and based on his slideshow and discussions with Dr. Furman we are going to attempt to reorganize the track layout.
This week we obtained all of the rails to be bent and started into the full swing of manufacturing our new curved sections. We have found out how to consistently get bends in our rails using a step by step process. We are following last years advice and having only one person (me) manufacture the rails so that there is not measurement bias or manufacturing differences between users of the track bender. We have begun receiving 3D printer samples from makerspace and found out that they are having great difficulties in getting us our orders, so we will need to revisit this.
