Minutes of feedthrough meeting of 30 October, 2000.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Present: GV, AD, PB, Pof, TH, RL, MLenc, MGF, RKK, MLef

*) Milestones:

	- 45 funnels, 36 cold flanges, and 38 warm flanges were
	  cleaned at TRIUMF.  This leaves only 8 bellows assemblies
	  remaining to be cleaned, once they arrive from BOA.

	- The final electrical tests were performed on ft01.  
	  Aside from the know ground short of pin 59 of slot 4b,
	  no problems were found.

	- SM is working now on the weld sample for TIS, which will
	  be comprised of an upper funnel tube welded to a funnel base.

*) Michel will notify David Lissauer (and ask for advice) that UVIC 
   will not be able to complete the endcap C feedthroughs before the 
   currently know date that they are required at CERN.  The late
   completion is due to the late delivery of the pincarriers.  

*) PB will set up an enclosed space in room 021 in which the
   dye penetrant tests can be carried out, and will look into
   the possibility of venting the enclosed space through the
   building's ventilation system.

*) PB will request information from Bob Hackenburg of BNL regarding
   the specifics of the O ring and RF seal order.

*) Bob Evans of FCI recommended that the vacuum cables with upside
   down centre spacers be returned to FCI for further testing.
   96 cables will be returned, along with one cable found with *no*
   centre spacer and on additional cable with an over tolerance
   case width.

*) Chris Oram talked to Horst Oberlac regarding the LV warm cables.
   Horst Brettel is looking into obtaining a suitable connector for
   the backplane, and will contact us once one is found.

*) John Lindner will be joining us again for another four (or possibly
   eight) month session to work on electrical testing at CERN, with
   the first month or two to be spent at UVIC developing the test 
   equipment.  The time of this session is yet to be determined.

*) Michel is working on a memo to Aboud outlining responsibilities
   of installation tasks and costs.

*) Michel has notified Chris Oram that, due to Terry's imminent
   retirement, all ATLAS correspondences sent to Terry should be
   cc'd to Roy.

*) The orbital cutter and the orbital welder proposed to be purchased 
   by BNL apparently won't fit the endcap feedthrough configuration.
   Roy pointed out that Aboud is aware of this, and that Aboud is
   probably expecting to purchase a different type of orbital cutter 
   and orbital welder.

*) Mark is looking into 4-wire temperature probes, as endorsed
   by Allain Gonidec and the steering group.  BNL apparently
   still plans to use 3-wire temperature probes.  Will it cause
   problems if UVIC uses 4-wire temperature probes while BNL
   uses 3-wire?  We should aquire both 3- and 4-wire probes along
   with a temperature controller (as the ones to be used at ATLAS)
   to conduct our own tests.
