Minutes of Feedthrough meeting of 9 July 01

Present:  PB, AWD, ASD, GV, FH

Milestones

FT 09 (our first HEC feedthrough) was tested in the Cold Test Station.  A
short developed with a pin on the outside of the warm flange, but it was
repaired.  The FT will be dye penetrant tested today (this is now
completed and passed), it is waiting for final electrical tests. 

Testing of the last 232 vacuum cables is continuing, all visual and Cirris
testing is complete.

Cabling of FT 10 is complete. It is currently being welded shut. Dye
penetrant testing will also be done today (completed and passed).

We have not yet received the 24 pin carriers that were shipped on 29 June.


This week

We will start the cabling of FT 11; this will be our second HEC FT.

Xtalk and impedance testing of the vacuum cables will be started this
week.

Dave will be making two double wide shipping crates for the HEC FTs. The
covers of the existing crates will be completed (handles and holes for
screws, polly bags sealed) We will look at fastening four crates together
and designing an outer crate.

Alisa will be attending a meeting which will discuss the drawing program
used at TRIUMF. They currently use Auto Cad, but they may change to a
different program. At UVIC we have four licenses (including Roy's) for
Auto Cad, three of these are TRIUMF and one is ATLAS, most of these
require upgrading. If TRIUMF changes we may have to look at compatibility
between TRIUMF and us.
