CDC Update

1. 680 wires remain to be strung. We expect this to finish in early Feb.
2. The techs are doing a lot of soldering practice.
3. After finishing tension checks we plan to put ~500V on the wires (in air).
4. The mapping plan is almost complete, we have identified which pins will go to which HVB. Most wires are 4" long (range is 3.75" to 5").
5. Tim: aiming for cheeseplate delivery and surveying end Feb/March. Small parts (brackets) will be sent to CMU before then.
