Minutes of feedthrough meeting of 10 September, 2001.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Present: Pof, GV, FH, PB, JL

*) Milestones

	- The cold tests for ft01 have been repeated after
	  its repair for all channels, and passed.

	- Final tests (resistance and cross talk) for ft14
	  are finished, and passed.

*) The pincarriers for ft15 (our last HEC for ECC) are to be 
   welded tomorrow (11 Sep).  The next two feedthroughs to be 
   build will be an FCAL (ft16) and our last Special for ECC
   (ft17).

*) The pincarrier cooler has developed a large leak.  It is
   presently under repair, and hopfully will be functional
   by mid week.
 
*) In a 6 September phone conversation, Tom Muller told me
   that he will have the next two pincarrier shipments (24 each)
   sent to UVIC.  This is partly due to BNL's expected slowdown
   when much of their assembly crew will be sent to CERN.  After
   testing the pincarriers, we will keep one batch of 24 as
   a buffer in case of further delivery delays.

*) The pincarrier that showed a leak which is no longer
   reproducible by us should be cold cycled two more times
   and re-tested (as usual) and then cold cycled many
   more times before re-testing again.  If it still passes,
   it should be set aside and used as a spare if our pincarrier
   inventory allows.  If 'suspect' pincarriers ever are used
   in a feedthrough, they should be used in the warm flanges
   only.

*) The vacuum test equipment for CERN still requires some 
   further leak tests before being shipped.

*) Euro-Phred (the micro-Ohmmeter multiplexer to be used at
   CERN) has been tested.  Two channels were found to be shorted
   together, but this has now been repaired.  The I/O cable
   to connect the laptop PC with Euro-Phred, the scanner and
   the fanout should be fully assemled by Wednesday 12 Sept 
   (thanks to the electronics shop) so John will be able to
   fully test the CERN electronics test setup by Thursday.

*) The outer shipping crate for our first shipment of four
   feedthroughs will be completed this week.  Copies of the
   traveler sheets also need to be made, with blank forms
   for the electrical (both reception and installation) and
   vacuum (reception only) tests.

*) BNL expects to finalize the pedestal filter box design
   this week.  Bob Hackenburg is keeping us informed of
   the connection details for the heater power supply and
   temperature probes.

*) Connie (ATLAS secretariat) is happy for Aaron, Greg, and John
   to use Roy's office as an address and phone number.  She
   also said that there is little the ATLAS secretariat can
   do for new members before they have been assigned CERN
   id numbers, however Michel still suggests that they stop
   in at the ATLAS secretariat before going to the users' office.
