Minutes of feedthrough meeting of 22 January, 2001.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Present: Pof, PB, GV, AD, RL, TH, MLenc, ML, RKK, MGF

*) Milestones

	- 100 Vacuum Cables arrived on 16 January, and another
	  100 Vacuum Cables arrived today (22 January).  
	  Cross talk tests have been completed on the 
	  16 January batch.  The 22 batch arrived without
	  serial number labels (again...).

	- The last eight bellows assemblies were cleaned
	  at TRIUMF on thursday 19 January.  This marks
	  the last of the ultrasonic cleaning to be done
	  on all components.

	- More than 100 applications were received for
	  the lab assistant position.  Pof and PB will
	  narrow the field down to four for interviews
	  this week.

*) The 194 Vacuum Cables that arrived on 27 November 2000
   without serial number labels were finally labeled by
   hand (vc9100 -> vc9293) after numerous unsuccessful attempts 
   to have FCI send us some of their spare serial number labels,
   and then put through the electrical tests.  Three failed
   with insufficient ground shield contact, one with a signal
   line short between the two striplines, and one with an
   apparent broken ground strip.

*) PB will respond to Patrick Fassnacht regarding our electrical
   requirements for building 180; four receptacles in the
   Endcap Feedthroughs reception/storage/testing area, plus
   one receptacle available for electrical tests after welding.

*) PB will send to Alberto Desirelli by courier a hardcopy of
   the Control Step Document, as well as an electronic copy
   by email.  This should be done ASAP.

*) Roy had a phone conversation with Alberto Desirelli this morning
   regarding the TIS weld sample confusion.  Alberto claims that
   the weld is not documented in the weld plan.  A video conference
   has been arranged for 08:00 Monday 29 January to sort this out.  
   All relevant drawings and documents should be prepared and 
   available for the video conference. 

*) Tom Muller offered us the drawings of their shipping crates.
   Mark will contact Tom to obtain these, as there may very well
   be some useful features which we have overlooked.

*) Richard contacted Chris Oram, who in turn contacted Bob Orr
   regarding payment for the warm LV cables; the payment issue
   is now out of our hands.

*) Christian Zeitnitz has requested one old pigtail (the one we
   used for the `stretch' tests) for the readout of temperature
   probes, and one vacuum cable (crpp prototype) for the russians
   to use for the HEC cryostat.  Pof will check with Bonnie 
   regarding the use of a customs broker to send these (especially
   the pigtail) to CERN to ensure that the proper paperwork is 
   done to track the re-export of the pigtails.
