A MiniRotator on test: bent downwards (using the remotely controlled jacks) to select a certain helicity.

 

 

A MiniRotator on test: bent upwards (using the remotely controlled jacks) to select the opposite helicity.

 

 

A bellows unit allowing flexible connection between sections of beam pipe in adjacent magnets. Note the metal fingers which slide in complementary holes to maintain the circuit for mirror currents.
