Subject: SHC West manipulator tong cable replacement 

Broken tong cable on West manipulator (serial #8106) replaced.

Wrist joint with broken cable was replaced with the spare wrist joint, pre-strung with a new tong cable. Tong cable is routed the "new" way (as described in April 3, 2024 wrist replacement), over the interior spacer.

Both East and West manipulators now have wrists with cables routed in this fashion which, in theory should result in longer cable life.

Tong cable in East manipulator #7986 was visually checked and looks in good shape.

Handle cable on #7986 is still routed under the spacer in the wrist and should be replaced with a new cable routed above the spacer next time it needs service.
