/* Notes from Dennis on 10/10/2005:
* The bare secondary hub weights 540 lbs at a distance of 340 inches.
* The total weight of the spiders is 274 lbs at a distance of 340 inches.
* The turnbuckles weight 160 lbs at a distance of 340 inches.
* The dual actuators weight 47 lbs each and there are 54 of them.
* The single actuators weight 19 lbs and there are 50 of them.
*
* It is 55 inches from the actuator plate to the center line of the elevation axis.
* It is 78 inches from the ventilation covers to the center line of the elevation axis.
* It is 85 inches from the rotator flange to the center line of the elevation axis.
* It is 150 inches from the lead weight to the center line of the elevation axis.

/* Here are some notes on the counterweights used in balancing the telescope:
*
* 1) balancer.php uses a total moment for the counterweights at maximum travel of
* 491880 in-lbs. Here is how that number is calculated.
* 2) The two counterweights are located on opposite sides of the telescope and are symmetric.
* 3) The maximum possbile travel for the counterweights is 120 inches. (Minimum transport
is at 0 inches.)
* 4) The lead weights (or "plates") in the counterweight boxes are in the shape of an "L".
* Two of the weights join to make a layer 1-inch thick.
* 5) We typically have 30 plates, or 15 inches of weights on each side of the telescope. (The
boxes are around 16 inches tall, so they are almost completely filled.)
* 6) The boxes that hold the plates weight 177.5 lbs each.
* 7) So, (30 plates x 62.4 lbs/plate) + 177.5 lbs = 2049.5 lbs on each side.
* 8) Since we have the same configuration on both sides of the telescope:
* (2049.5 lbs x 2) = 4099 lbs.
* 9) At maximum extension, the total moment for the counterweights is:
* 4099 lbs * 120 in = 491880 in-lbs.
* 10) At minimum extension, the total moment is:
* 4099 lbs * 0 in = 0 in-lbs.
* 11) The counterweight "setting" is a number between 0 and 120, reflecting
* the number of inches of counterweight moment.
