Minutes of feedthrough meeting of 27 August, 2001.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Present: Pof, AD, ASD, GV, FH, ML, RKK, MGF, PB, JL

*) Milestones

	- ft14 (our third Special) was cold tested last week

*) We aim at shipping a batch of four feedthroughs to CERN by
   mid September, to be followed by the balance of our stock
   if all goes well with the initial shipment.  Rob McPherson
   is to be kept informed of all shipping details, and copies
   of all the CERN reception paperwork (customs, etc) should
   be sent back to us in Victoria. Simon of King Brothers has 
   been put in touch with Neil MacLean of UVIC Accounting 
   (Insurance & Financial Systems) regarding the insurance for 
   the shipment.  UVIC insurance will cover the shipment with
   a K$50 deductible, but we should 'buy down' the deductible
   to a more tolerable level.

*) Cleaning of the TRIUMF lab is still ongoing, but much progress
   has been made.

*) Alisa is working with Guy Stanford of TRIUMF to have a
   properly designed ventilated area in which to conduct the
   dye penetrate tests.  Alisa will also check with WCB for
   any other parameters we should be aware of when doing the
   dye penetrate tests.

*) 24 pincarriers arrived today (27 Aug).  We will probably
   build a HEC, a Special, and an FCAL feedthrough with these. 

*) John Lindner started working with us on Tuesday 21 August.
   He will be working initially on the electrical test equipment 
   for the CERN feedthrough reception and weld tests.

*) A tentative CERN manpower schedule for the feedthrough
   reception tests this fall is as follows (dates are approximate):

	- JL			 1 Oct -> mid Dec
	- Pof			 1 Oct -> 29 Oct
	- PB			 1 Oct -> 10 Oct
	- AD			29 Oct -> 19 Nov
	- GV			19 Nov -> 10 Dec

   Pof will check with Connie (ATLAS secretariat) for a recipe
   to get John, Greg, and Aaron integrated into CERN.  We will
   try to arrange for a CERN van for John.

*) The protective covers for use on the feedthroughs after
   welding still require designing and building.

*) Copies of the traveler sheets for each feedthrough will be
   included in their respective shipping crates.  New traveler
   sheets need to be made for the reception leak and electrical
   tests, and for the after-weld electrical tests.
