Title: Installing magnet shims in an alpha calutron tank
Description: Installing magnet shims in an alpha calutron tank to increase output of Uranium-235. The guiding magnetic field was shimmed not by the old black art but in obedience to calculations. Accurately machined and installed, the shims greatly increased the usable beam that reached the collectors. (The preceding information was excerpted from the text of the Fall 1981 issue of LBL Newsmagazine.)
