Minutes of feedthrough meeting of 05 November, 2001.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Present: Pof, GV, FH, PB, ML, ASD, MGF

*) Milestones

	- ft's 17 (the last Special for ECC) and 18 were
	  welded and dye-penetrate tested on Tuesday
	  30 Oct.  Three flanges were also welded on the
	  same day.

	- ft 17 was cold tested (and passed) on Thursday
	  1 November.

	- The four HEC and one FCAL ft's were shipped to
	  CERN on Friday 2 November.  The four HEC ft's
	  were bundled into one large 4-pak, and the FCAL
	  coffin (same size as the HEC coffins) was placed
	  alone in a second shipping crate.

*) ft18 (a Standard) is ready to be cold tested.

*) ft19 (a Standard) is being vacuum-cabled today (Monday) and
   might be ready for welding tomorrow.

*) 12 pincarriers are to be hipot tested today and will
   be welded into flanges tomorrow.

*) 12 more pincarriers have finished their first cold cycle
   over the weekend and are ready for a leak check.

*) 12 more pincarriers are now in the cold station for
   their first cold cycle.

*) 12 more pincarriers are waiting to be tested.

*) pincarrier stock doesn't seem to be a problem...

*) We need to supply some poly tubes to be placed over the
   pigtail bundles to protect them during and after assembly,
   similar to what BNL is presently using.  Something to 
   protect the micro-D and HEC connectors would also be
   useful (any ideas???).

*) Michel confirmed that UVIC personel will be available to
   assist Aboud, at least during the initial stages of
   feedthrough installation.

*) Pof assisted Dave Pate in performing the (BNL) electrical
   tests on two installed barrel feedthroughs last week (1 Nov).
   The tests were done on a ManLev platform.  It appears there
   should be no serious problems performing the UVIC crosstalk
   tests on the installed EndCap feedthroughs from the ManLev.

*) The issue of ft ownership to CERN must be worked out soon
   with Pierre, at least by the Dec LARG week if not sooner.

*) The ASSO relevant to the EndCap Signal FeedThrough project
   will be held at CERN in Feb 2002.  Michel will check with
   Pierre this week what will be required of our team.  Before
   the ASSO (and preferably before the Dec LARG week) an updated
   QA/QC document should be posted, updated to include (among
   other things) the reception test procedures.  We should also
   work on a means to make some data summaries of the reception
   tests available on the web.  This could either be directly
   from MS Access (might not be possible) or from data summary
   files on unix.  Greg will check with Jan on the Access 
   possibilities.
