Figure 1 shows the assembly drawing of the Central Calorimeter Cryostat Flexible Support Stanchion. Figures 2 and 3 show the Flexible Support STanchion in detail. These Stanchions support the cryostat safely, reduce the heat load to the cryostat from the ambient by a factor of more than ten, provide a spring like action that reduce the loads created by thermal contraction of the cryostat and position the cryostate accurately. Table 1 shows all of the details of the Flexible Support system for the C.C. Cryostat.

On February 28, 1987, the x-ray ring was shut down for major modifications. 627 Ampere hours of time integrated current had been accumulated and lifetimes of 25 and 9 hours had been routinely achieved at 50 and 200 mA, respectively. This paper summarizes pressure and lifetime behavior since the first bakeout in March 1984, when the lifetime at 20 mA was about 20 minutes.
