Checking the big furnace at ATC

Kubo-san, Yoshiyuki, Simon

I inspected today the big furnace at the ATC (located besides the exhaust hood) to see how we can use it and whether it is available or not. Please see also the pictures attached.

The model is: ISUZU DSTR-314K
max. temp.: 1220 degrees Celsius

The inner area seems not very clean. So, in order to use it for KAGRA substrates, we need to create some kind of enclosure to save the substrates from pollutions (especially penetrating atoms/ions).

I will try to find a manual but it seems that the actual usage is relatively simple. Also, since almost nobody uses it now, we can take our time.
Before using it, however, we have to write an Email to Kubo-san and Yoshiyuki.
