Attach drawer

19 Before attaching tilt mechanisms to big board, you must ensure that the rear wood frame is sitting ﬂush on the board surface. Adjust the tilt mechanisms as necessary to ensure no space is left between these surfaces, and then securely tighten the four screws that attach the tilt mechanisms to the rear oak crossbar

20 Mark the locations in large board for four holes in tilt mechanisms. Be sure bracket on end of tilt mechanism is ﬂush to board. Use an awl or drill with 1/16" bit to make starter holes. Use care not to drill all the way through the tabletop. Attach using 3/4" Phillips screws. Tighten securely but use care not to over tighten and strip.

21 Attach drawer face to drawer front using 1" Phillips screws. Note: Drawer face has two sets of predrilled holes. Use the upper set and be sure that lock is on the right side. Use care to ensure face is attached straight, square, and centered to the drawer unit. Tighten screws securely.

22 Gripping drawer rails and drawer together, turn drawer upside down and align rail brackets with holes in wood rails attached to small board, as shown in diagram.

Attach using 3/4" Phillips screws. Tighten securely.

23 Carefully return assembled table to its upright position. This will require two people. Use care to keep drawer unit from sliding open.

24 Adjust tilt of tabletop to desired angle. The ratcheted tilt mechanisms allow you to set the tabletop at a variety of comfortable working angles. Simply lift the table top from the back edge until it clicks into the desired position. To return the top to the ﬂat position, raise the back edge as high as it will go. This will release the ratchet mechanism.

25 And ﬁnally, just when you think you’re done, go back and retighten all the screws and bolts on the entire table to ensure that it remains strong, sturdy, and stable for many years of use. You may want to ﬁne-tune the position of the drawer face at this time if it is not quite straight and in line with the base frame. Slightly loosen the drawer face screws from the inside and reposition

as necessary.

26 Insert mushroom caps into unused side frame holes. These caps are pressure ﬁt but you may want to apply a small drop of glue inside the hole to ensure they do not fall out over time.

Titan II specifications

The Alvin Titan II is a remarkable deep-sea submersible designed for the exploration of underwater environments, particularly in the challenging conditions of the ocean's depths. As a successor to previous generations of submersibles, the Titan II incorporates advanced technologies and features that enhance its capabilities and safety.

One of the main features of the Alvin Titan II is its state-of-the-art pressure-resistant hull, which is critical for withstanding the immense pressures found in deep-sea environments. Constructed from durable titanium alloy, the hull ensures structural integrity at depths reaching over 4,500 meters. This depth capability allows scientists to explore some of the most remote and least understood ecosystems on the planet.

The submersible is equipped with a suite of high-definition cameras and lighting systems, providing researchers with unparalleled visual access to underwater landscapes. This technology allows for detailed observation and documentation of marine life, geological features, and even shipwrecks. The onboard cameras can capture both still images and video, enabling the collection of data that is crucial for marine research and conservation efforts.

Another significant characteristic of the Alvin Titan II is its advanced sonar system. This technology is essential for navigational purposes, allowing pilots to map the ocean floor in real-time and detect obstacles during dives. Coupled with automated navigation software, the Titan II can execute precise maneuvers, making it safer and easier for researchers to focus on their work.

Powering the Titan II is an upgraded energy system that provides extended operational capabilities. With increased battery life and energy efficiency, the submersible can conduct longer missions, gathering more data without the need for frequent resurfacing. This efficiency is complemented by an enhanced life-support system, allowing for longer durations underwater, accommodating both pilots and researchers.

The Titan II also features a modular design, enabling easy upgrades and the addition of specific scientific instruments as research needs evolve. This adaptability ensures that the submersible can keep pace with advancements in technology and varying scientific goals.

In summary, the Alvin Titan II represents a significant leap in submersible technology, combining robust engineering with cutting-edge systems for exploration and research. Its ability to operate at great depths, coupled with advanced imaging and navigation technologies, positions it as a vital tool for understanding our planet's mysterious underwater realms.
