connected A(CH3)3 instead of He, pumped line and valve with pump on the high voltage rack.. Opened regulating valve first response at mass 27 with valve set point at 7.0.

 The bottle with Al(CH3)3 was removed from the test stand yesterday April 25.

comments in e-mail from Marik:

Anders & I took the Al(CH3)3 bottle out of the test stand & put it in the middle fume hood of lab 07.  There was some puffs of white "smoke" when Anders unscrewed the VCR coupling.  Likely some trapped liquid that oxidized on air exposure.  If at all possible, I would suggest a vertical orientation in the Faraday cage.
