Minutes of feedthrough meeting of 10 October, 2000. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Present: GV, Pof, AD, MLef, RL, RKK, MLenc, MGF *) Milestones: - ft01 has been welded and installed into the cold-test station. The pincarriers for ft02 were welded into their flanges on the same day. This exhausts our available stock of pincarriers (aside from 2 extra 8-row). Richard reminded us that we should arrange with Chris for a site review by the time we are building ft05. *) Richard pointed out that LabView 6 is now being used for the LabView tutorials, and that we should obtain the LabView 6 upgrade asap. One machine only should be upgraded initially so that our VI's can be tested before upgrading all machines. *) Mark will produce a large feedthrough drawing to be placed in the lab before the NSERC site visit on Monday 16 October. *) Mark is still looking for possible suppliers of wires for the ambient flange heaters. CERN stores might have yielded some likely candidates. *) Richard informed Chris that UVIC is unable to proceed with the LV warm cable design given the lack of technical information presently available to us. This is an issue that the HEC conveners should address. *) Albin Effernelli notified Roy that all future testing of VCR Tee's will be done with rubber or plastic gaskets only. This should eliminate the possibility of damaging the VCR seal face during vacuum testing. Agenda for next week (10:00 17 Oct): ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - Milestones - Progress and comments on feedthrough construction - Any news on the pincarrier procurement front... - AOB
