| G101b with one clamp removed. Each clamp has two spacers. |
| Spacers seem to be about 1/32“ thick, maybe a little thinner. |

Since USD1 is not as thick, we will want to use fewer/thinner spacers. Need to reduce the clamp spacing by about 1/32”.
One document I've seen suggests that a standard spacer size is 0.020“, so that's probably the thickness of the spacers. So removing either one or two of the spacers on one side should get us about the correct clamp spacing.

We used an air gun to blow off the surface of G101, to remove wirebond bits and other debris. No air gun in the clean room - we used the compressed air supply in the lab with a gun borrowed from the student shop and cleaned the surface in the clean room anteroom.
Then G101 was put into the shipping container that USD1 came in, double bagged, and packaged for return shipping to TAMU.
