Minutes of feedthrough meeting of February 07, 2000.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Present: AD, MGF, GV, PB, Pof, MLenc, RK, TH, RL, JL

*) Milestones -

	- FT -1 was welded

	- The `resource loaded' schedule plots are
	  done and available for perusal at
	  http://wwwhep.phys.uvic.ca/~pof/atlas/plans/ 

	- The TIS SSR (Safety Study Report) is now finalized
	  and approved.

	- The TIS pressure vessel and weld samples
	  have arrived at CERN.

	- The rohacell cutting is ~ 50% complete.

*) Steel Issues: 

	- The balance of Victoria's steel is expected
	  to be shipped by Timken around the end of
	  this month, give or take one week.

	- It remains unclear what actions will be taken
	  by BNL regarding their lot of bad steel.

*)	- A weld plan must be supplied to TIS by SM and 
	  us *before* we go into production. 

*)	- Richard expressed concern that the time estimate
	  (one day) for the cold tests is is too short.
	  Running it over a second day requires that 
	  we top up the LN2 sometime late in the evening.
	  We should investigate the possibility of using
	  some sort of auto fill device.  

*)	- Ebco expects that machining of some of the warm 
	  and cold flanges will be complete by Feb 10 or 11;
	  Roy will visit Ebco to examine the finished flanges.

*)	- The first shipment of pigtails should be on its way.
	  We should check with Orsay for shipping information
	  so that we can track its progress.

*)	- The Tee piece for the ambient flange gland has
	  been designed to accomodate the possible use
	  of the flange heaters that Dave Rahm is investigating.
	  These heaters would cost ~US$1,000 each.  Roy will
	  contact Dave on how his investigations are progressing.

*) Jobs for this week:

	- Continue cutting the rohacell.
	- Set up cold vacuum tests for feedthrough -1;
	  thermal tests should also be performed during
	  the cold tests.
	- Sort out the label issue for the FCI cables.
	  (Labels were ordered on 9 Feb AM.)
	- The `pigtail stretch' test remains to be done.
	- The temperature vs current test of a pin
