The big move - Fermi Muon g-2 magnet

Back in May, I posted about a 50 foot diameter magnet being moved from the Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York to the Fermilab in Batavia. It has arrived in Chicago and is scheduled to reach its new home this Friday. Here is a short video of it being moved through Chicago: The company that is moving the ring is Emmert International. They specialize in unusual rigging and moving projects. Posted by DaveH at July 25, 2013 1:25 PM
