Description of Cutaway Drawing

This is a cutaway drawing of the Adiabatic Demagnetization Refrigerator (ADR) designed for the X-Ray Spectrometer (XRS). This picture does not show the magnet that is part of the ADR. Instead, it only shows the part that is slipped into the hole in the center of the magnet coil.

I'll start the description with the heart of the ADR, the Salt Pill.
