Gloved hands gently guide the 7 cm diameter ADR cylinder into a hole, not actually visible amid the mass of plumbing and mechanical structure that makes up the top of the insert. (91K JPEG)

The FEA fully integrated with the ADR, we're ready to insert it into the magnet bore in the helium insert. Technically it's not an ADR without the magnet, but we sometimes refer to the assembly you see here (the salt pill plus the heat switch) as the ADR, for convenience.
