No, I was an engineer for Atlantis. I didn't install them anyway, I just wrote the procedure for the techs to do so, and did the troubleshooting when something went wrong.
I can see why you're so engaged with this issue. When we exchanged posts Saturday we were engaging in rampant speculation. I think you knew how limited the options were for those poor souls.
Any way, thanks for your personal contributions to this wonderful program that has given flight to the human soul.
