The soldering paste and the WBT silver solder, showing detail of copper
foil soldered to rectangular brass tubing.
The 'stained glass' copper foil. Sold as having a high temperature
adhesive. 1 mil thick, the 6 foot length applied to each pole face is
measured to have about a 1.5 ohm DCR.
The special 'anti-static' Kapton self-adhesive tape. The Kapton is 1 mil
thick and the adhesive layer is rated at 1 mil thickness.
Copper foil strips laid out and ready for installation.
Checking the continuity. The copper foil is part of the experimental design
and may be used a 'return' conductor for the ribbon itself. As such,
electrical insulation from the steel pole piece is required.
