These things were hand built and tuned by adjusting gold pads with tweezers and then re-testing - incredibly time consuming and expensive.Anyhoo... They loaded all of these things into a vacuum chamber for testing prior to final assembly and launch. The chamber broke and filled itself with cooling water destroying about a years worth of assembly time and putting back the launch. Lots of jokes about soak testing etc. Fortunately I was not on site that day and it was nothing to do with me...
One for the Bungle Brothers...
