Work continues on T1 M13Q1 joint:

- Discovered some sort of vacuum box brace restricting the collapse of the vacuum box when the air cylinders were actuated. Upon closer observation the air cylinders appear to work, unsure if the "retract" and "extend" port markings work as labeled.

- The brace appears not to be removable, further investigation of this piece is required.

- It is believed the piece is two plates attached to a ring surrounding the central bellows with a bar on the top to facilitate rotation of this blocking device.
