Since several of the other techs have gone to sea, I’m going to be working on maintence for various Alvin systems. This week was spent researching and putting together charts for different parts. Sometimes it’s easy because the part number is actually on the part, sometimes it’s easy because the part is easy to find in the database, sometimes neither of those things happen. While the database is slowly becoming streamlined, there are some parts that just haven’t been updated yet and I have to dig around trying to find the information I need. In a nice little getaway from the computer, I built another wire harness this week. While the connectors are different from the wire harness I built previously, the process was the same. It goes a lot faster when you know what you’re doing and the person who designed the harness made it so the wires go in order.
Trim the wire, crimp the pins on, insert into plug
