Minutes of feedthrough meeting of 13 November, 2001.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Present: Pof, GV, FH, PB, ML, ASD

*) Milestones

	- 24 pincarriers arrived on 6 November (and
	  24 more pincarriers on 16 November).

	  Other recent deliveries have been:

	  24 pc's 29 October
	  27 pc's 22 October
	  24 pc's 12 October
	   3 pc's 26 September
	  24 pc's 27 August

	  We have received a total of 270 pincarriers so
	  far.  That's up from 147 as of the end of September.

	- ft19 was welded and passed the dye-penetrate test,
	  then cold tested (and passed).

	- Three flanges (two warm and one cold) were welded.

	- ft20 has has been cabled and will be welded Wednesday
	  14 November.

	- A production status page has been added to the
	  feedthrough web pages, including links to some
	  of the cross talk and resistance data summaries.
	  More features will be added in the near future.

	- A care package containing various odds and ends
	  (nuts, bolts, dust pan, brush, mop, small top
	  shelf for the electronics test cart, reading 
	  material,...) was sent to CERN.

	- Week of 5 November report from CERN:

	     5 Nov: evacuated ft05 and ft06 funnels.
	     6 Nov: leak checked ft05 and ft06 funnels;
	            cross talk tests for ft05 and ft06;
	            evacuated ft04 and ft07 funnels.
	     7 Nov: leak checked ft04 and ft07 funnels;
	            cross talk tests for ft04 and ft07;
	            evacuated ft05 and ft06 bellows;
	            evacuated ft10 and ft14 funnels.
	     8 Nov: leak checked ft10 and ft14 funnels;
	            cross talk tests for ft14 and ft10;
	            leak checked ft05 and ft06 bellows;
	            analysed ft04, ft05, ft06, and ft07
	            cross talk test data.
	    11 Nov: evacuated ft04 and ft07 bellows;
	            evacuated ft08 and ft12 funnels.

*) One of the pigtail test leads in use at CERN has gone 
   kaput (one channel does not transmit pulses).  A replacement
   was included with the electrical test equipment sent
   to CERN, but two more replacement test leads will also
   be sent with the next care package.  Several of the micro-D
   jackscrews have also been failing with stripped sockets
   at CERN.  More replacements of those will also be sent.

*) Another damaged pigtail (stripped kapton) was found on 
   ft10 at CERN, very close to the micro-D connector.  ft19
   (still at UVIC) has also been damaged, with at least two
   coaxe lines stripped near the end of the funnel.  We need
   to modify our procedures so that the cables are better
   protected.  We will look into using a full poly sleave
   protecting the entire length of the pigtail bundle.

   Pierre Imbert and Patrick Cornebise are presently at CERN
   and were to meet with Aaron on Friday 16 November to 
   assess the damage and attempt a repair on the two damaged
   feedthroughs now at CERN.  Unfortunately, the forgot a
   tool required for the repairs, so the repairs have been
   postponed until Wednesday 28 November.

*) The issue of feedthrough ownership transfer to CERN is
   presently being negotiated between Michel and Pierre.
   It is expected to be finalized during the December LARG week.

*) We need to decide what parts of the traveler-sheet notebooks
   should be scanned and placed on EDMS.  The full traveler-sheet 
   notebooks are about 100 pages per feedthrough.  One proposal
   is to scan only the summary pages, which include the serial
   numbers of all components.

*) Pof will investigate during the December LARG week the 
   integration of our feedthrough database into the the ATLAS 
   database.

*) Work will continue on updating the QA/QC document, including
   the reception test procedures and appendices on the test 
   equipment.  We will aim at placing it on EDMS before Christmas.

*) Michel is working on a report (more or less an update of
   the feedthrough TDR) for Horst Oberlac, including basic
   information such as how many of each type of feedthrough
   are made, what are the feedthrough components, etc. 

*) Another care package will be prepared for CERN:
	- more micro-D jackscrews
	- another micro-D jackscrew ball driver or allen driver
	- magnifying glass
	- two more (prototype) pigtail test leads
	- a leaky pincarrier for Pierre
