Minutes of feedthrough meeting of 31 July, 2000. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Present: GV, Pof, MLenc, AD, RL, RM, RKK, MGF *) Milestones: - 27 Vacuum Cables arrived on 28 July. Testing is in progress. - The LN2 in-line filter arrived and has been fitted onto the LN2 dewar. - The WarmFlange drilling and tapping is progressing well and is expected to be finished sometime this week. - The heater-resistor tests are still going; still no failures. - Greg and Aaron have booked the ultrasonic bath at TRIUMF for August 9 and 10. They both should be really really clean when they return... - Mark has completed a prototype feedthrough crate, designed to hold two standard feedthroughs. Some work remains on the system to secure each feedthrough in the crate. Mark proposes to ship the crates in units of six (two across and three high), held together with an external frame of plywood. *) Roy has contacted Jason at BNL regarding EndCap Pedestal drawings, but has so far received no reply. In the meantime, Roy has obtained some "preliminary" drawings of the EndCap Pedestal from the BNL ftp site. Paper copies of those drawings are in Roy's office for public viewing. *) Roy has contacted Aboud regarding Feedthrough assembly procedures (specifically, regarding the four tapped holes on the warm flange that will be covered by our heater plates) but has not received a reply yet. Agenda for next week: (Tuesday 8 August) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - Milestones - Plans for ultrasonic cleaning - Progress on FT0 - Plans for cold tests on FT0 - AOB
