August~07
In the meantime, away from the Ament factory, a company arranged
to have the 6m steel mast made, after the aluminium one proved to be
'not-up-to-the-job. Here, it is being bench-tested (yard floor,
actually) with a 375k weight and hydraulically driven off a diggers
system. All proved to be excellent and up-to-the-job!
The largish looking bracket high on the right front of the mast is the
removable mounting for the
Navman
radar with the forward lamp mount spikes, above it. The anchor lamp has
yet to installed at the very top of the mast, so has the flag pole
mounting. Once all the fabrication work is finished, the mast will go to
Ament for painting and it's faux wood-finish effect.
