Minutes of feedthrough meeting of 23 July, 2001.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Present: Pof, GV, AD, ASD, FH

*) Milestones

	- Vacuum cable testing is completed on the batch of
	  232 cables that arrived on 29 June.  Two cables
	  failed, one with an open signal trace and the other
	  with an open ground trace, and will be returned
	  to FCI for repair.  Payment was authorized for 134
	  cables, which means that we have now authorized
	  payment for 1748 of the 1750 cables expected, the
	  two missing being the two that are to be returned.

	- ft12 (our second Special) is being welded today (Monday),
	  as well as the warm flange for ft13 and the cold flange
	  for ft14.  ft11 (our second HEC) is to be cold tested 
	  tomorrow.  ft10 (our first Special) is fully tested
	  and ready to crate.

	- The 'leaker' pincarrier that arrived on 10 July was
	  returned on Friday 20 July, and its replacement
	  also arrived on Friday.  24 more pincarriers are
	  expected to be shipped to us from Glasseal by the
	  end of this week or early next week.

*) The final resistance tests for ft09 (our first HEC) still
   need to be done.

*) A number of outstanding jobs remain to be done:

	- heater plate machining for fuse block

	- design and construct the LV cable heater shunt

	- rewire the electrical switches at the vacuum station
	  (several are starting to show signs of failure)

	- design and construct the warm flange protector plates
	  for use at CERN after feedthrough installation

	- complete the video camera setup, including the light
	  ring

	- several database related items which require assistance
	  from Jan

	- vacuum check the CERN vacuum test manifold

	- assemble, test, and write LabView VI's for the CERN 
	  electrical test apparatus
