HFT assembly pictures

 The HFT support structure ISD together with the IST was assembly during the week of August 5.
Several of the steps had never been done before including inserting the MSC with th IST mounted into the ESC.
The SSD cables were in the tray on the ESC and WSC.
Lastly the beampipe was inserted through and into the MSC/WSC rather than the MSC beeing assembled around the beampipe.

A number of pictures are included in this post showing the progress durin the assembly process.
