NIRC2 Electronics Shipping
September 9, 1999
A view of the NIRC2 electronics package from the front. The black insulation panels surround the electronics crate, which is not visible in this picture.

Standing with NIRC2 are James and Nick.
Despite the huge amount electronics contained inside, the NIRC2 electronics package only has eight connections to the outside world.
With the insulation panels removed, one can see the front of the rack - where the analog and digital electronic boards would go (they've been removed for shipping).
The back of the electronics crate, once again with the insulation panels removed.
Gunnar packs up each individual electronics board from the rack.
The NIRC2 electronics crate is set on its shock-absorbers, and ready to have its shipping crate built up around it.
The inner wall of the shipping crate is nearly complete.
Halfway there - the inside wall of the shipping crate is finished.
Ralph begins the outer wall of the shipping crate, and Nick inserts cushioning alongside the inner wall.
