Minutes of feedthrough meeting of 27 November, 2000.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Present: PB, Pof, AD, RL, TH, MLenc, RKK, MGF, ML

*) Milestones

	- ft02 was cold leak tested again, this time with
	  no problems.  A leak had been found earlier in
	  the interconnect between the LN2 dewar and test
	  station which was allowing He to leak into the
	  air and presumably entering the leak checker
	  through the roughing pump outlet.  That leak
	  was repaired before these latest tests were 
	  performed.  We will also look into the possibility
	  of venting the leak checker pump outlet to the
	  outside, thus further reducing the possibilty
	  of He entering the leak check through the
	  roughing pump.

	- 438 vacuum cables arrived today (27 Nov).

	- The final eight bellows arrived from BOA.  Two
	  of those had earlier been returned to BOA for
	  repair, the other six are new.

	- The `final' TIS weld samples were sent to CERN
	  on friday, 24 Nov.

*) ML, MGF, PB, and RL will attend the Dec Larg week. 
   Margret will present slides on electrial components and
   tests, both during assembly and at CERN.  Paul will
   present slides on hardware components (flanges, etc),
   current production status, and weld tests, including the
   status of discussions with TIS.  Michel will present
   slides on the projected production schedule, including an
   update of the pincarrier problems.  Mark will provide the
   CERN travelers a list of heater-related questions to be
   addressed during Larg week.

*) Greg and Aaron will produce a Fabrication Control Step
   document to be taken by the crew to Larg week.

*) The QA/QC document should be updated before the end of
   the year, and the revised version turned over to Bonny to 
   incorporate into one single document that can be placed
   on EDMS.

*) For standard feedthrough modules, we settled on a critia
   of no fewer than two failed channels for a `passed' 
   feedthrough.  For HEC feedthroughs, however, with possibly
   no spare channels, we may not be able to afford any
   failed channels in a `passed' feedthrough.

*) After asking us (via email communication with Roy) for
   input regarding the proposed use `special flexible' plumbing
   to attach to the feedthrough VCR glands, Albin Effernelli 
   is now proposing that we provide and install that plumbing.
   Our initial response is that this request goes beyond our
   mandate.  This will likely be discussed during LARG week.
