A method of constructing a partially reflective beam-splitter, the method comprising:
- obtaining a system comprising:
- a plurality of tables;
- a plurality of step-down shelves;
- a plurality of cutting bars;
- a plurality of gripper units wherein each gripper unit comprises:
- a clamp comprising:
- a hinge unit pivotally connected together two opposing jaws;
- pads attached to the jaws;
- a set screw attached to at least one of the jaws;
- and
- a rear opening;
- and
- a pull unit slideably engagable with the clamp, wherein the pull unit comprises:
- a pull bar;
- and
- a coupler slideably engagable with the rear opening of the clamp;
- a plurality of tension units;
- a frame;
- a hoist assembly comprising:
- a pulley;
- a cable;
- and
- a jack;
- a plurality of dollies;
- a trolley;
- a leveling unit;
- a pneumatic air line;
- a trolley;
- and
- a roll of substantially transparent film;
- using the leveling unit to level the tables;
- interconnecting together the tables;
- connecting the step-down shelves around the interconnected tables;
- laying down the cutting bars onto the connected step-down shelves such that the cutting bars are distributed around the interconnected tables;
- hooking up the roll of substantially transparent film onto the dollies;
- affixing a trailing edge of the roll of the substantially transparent film onto the connected step-down shelves;
- unrolling a portion of the roll of the substantially transparent film over the interconnected tables;
- cutting the unrolled portion of the roll of substantially transparent film to leave a sheet of substantially transparent film on the interconnected tables;
- repeating the affixing, unrolling and cutting procedures to build a multilayered film unit;
- trimming the multilayered film unit by using the cutting bars as guides;
- removing the cutting bars away from the interconnected table after completing the trimming procedure;
- positioning the clamps around the trimmed multilayered film unit;
- tightening down the set screw of the each positioned clamp so that the pads are holding onto the trimmed multilayered film unit;
- sliding the pull unit into the rear opening at a back end of each positioned clamp to form the gripper units around the trimmed multilayered film unit;
- placing the frame around the trimmed multilayered film unit;
- mounting the tension units to the each positioned clamp at the pull bar and onto the positioned frame;
- plumbing the pneumatic air lines to the mounted tension units;
- applying pressure to the plumbed pneumatic air lines to secure the trimmed multilayered film unit into a substantially planar configuration;
- securing the tension units in place applying the pressure to maintain the substantially planar configuration of the trimmed multilayered film unit within the frame;
- sealing gripper units around all exposed corners of the trimmed multilayered film unit mounted to make the partially reflective beam-splitter;
- attaching the dollies to the frame of the partially reflective beam-splitter;
- rigging the hoist assembly and the trolley to the frame of the partially reflective beam-splitter;
- angling up the frame of the partially reflective beam-splitter by using the hoist assembly to a viewing angle;
- and
- supporting the angled up frame of the partially reflective beam-splitter by using the jack and the hoist assembly to support the frame.
