Thierry sent a note.
He wanted to know if the altitude clutch was supposed to be metal-on-metal as Clay was suggesting. I said that was correct, that was how Meade had designed it. It was like a car clutch. No lubrication should be used. And the cork was an after-market option.
He wanted to know what "lapping" of gears meant. I explained to him briefly that it was a normal way of cleaning and reconditioning gears. Like honing cylinders.
We set a pick up time.
He also drew attention to Clay's remark about "inadvertently" leaving the cork ring in the clutch when he lapped the worm gear.
More doubt.
