Minutes of feedthrough meeting of 09 April, 2001.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Present: PB, Pof, AD, GV, FH, ML

*) Milestones

	- ft03 has been cabled, checked for continuity, and
	  is ready to be welded and cold-tested this week.

	- The ambient flange heater resistor tests have been
	  terminated; PB will provide Margret with a summary
	  for presentation at LARG week.

	- The 75 ohm resistors for the ambient flange heater
	  have been ordered.

*) An email was sent by Michel and Richard to Horst Oberlack, 
   Pierre Paillier, David Lissauer, and Patrick Fassnacht summarizing
   the pincarrier production and allotment dilemma, coupled with
   our potential production ability (~3 ft's per month) and the
   consequences for the completion date of the Endcap C feedthroughs.  
   This should hopefully stir some discussion...

*) One socket on one of our 1.2 meter Axon test harness was damaged
   while plugging into a pincarrier.  The socket is still intact, but
   probably will not take many more cycles.  Consequently we have
   mounted the connector with the damaged socket semi-permanently onto
   one of the Cirris adapter ports (using jackscrews) so that the
   socket need not be cycled again.  Fiona has subsequently ordered
   three more Cirris adapter ports (and they have arrived) and pof
   will look into ordering one or more additional Axon 1.2 meter
   test leads.

*) Specific Mechanical presently has only one welder (Greg) qualified 
   for welding our feedthroughs since the other (Loyd) has been laid
   off.  PB will speak with Tom at SM about having another welder
   qualified, so that we always have two welders available.  This
   might mean that we have to supply the $500 to cover the cost
   of qualifying.

*) The light table for the video camera is nearly done.  The
   lens and TV monitor will be ordered once the camera arrives.

*) A version of the QA/QC document (version/date number 010330) has
   been frozen and will be placed on EDMS.  Pof will look into the
   details of getting the document on EDMS.  Items to include in
   the next version will be a full description of the ambient flange
   heater and a summary of the resistor tests.  Test procedures
   should also be updated as required. 

*) An RFQ has been sent out for the purchase of 50 pigtail jumpers
   of the type BNL uses (3 inch unshielded wires).  No decision
   to purchase will be made until tests are completed with the
   jumper loaned to us by BNL (arrived Monday 9 April).
