Minutes of feedthrough meeting of 2 January, 2002.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Present: Pof, AD, FH, PB, RKK, MGF, ASD

*) Milestones

	- ft23 was cold tested and passed.  A ground short
	  was encountered during the cross talk tests, but
	  was easily burnt off.

	- ft24 was cabled and welded, and is now ready to
	  be cold tested.

	- five flanges were welded, and lots more pincarriers
	  are ready to be welded.

	- 48 pincarriers, 24 of each type, arrived today (2 Jan).

*) ft24 will be our 25th feedthrough to be built.  Since we have
   designated the Standard feedthrough ft20 a spare because it has
   a 5 x 10^-10 mbar-l/s leak under cold conditions, we still
   require one more Standard feedthrough to complete ECC.  Since 
   we don't have enough HEC or FCAL pigtails to complete any more 
   HEC or FCAL feedthroughs, we will carry on building Standard and 
   Special feedthroughs until the appropriate pigtails arrive.

*) We still require the material certs for the three batches of
   pincarrier steel.  Pof has asked Tom Muller for those.

*) The feedthrough building crew is still trying out ideas for
   methods of protecting the pigtails during feedthrough construction 
   and testing.  These methods should be optimized over the next
   few feedthroughs.  We should also keep in mind methods for
   protecting the pigtails during feedthrough installation.

*) The revisions for the QA/QC and related documents are stil 
   underway, and should be wrapped up in the near future.  Mark
   is gathering all the most recent feedthrough related drawings
   to be placed on CDD by Roy.

*) The next LARG week is 4-8 February.  RKK and MGF stated that
   they might possibly attend at least part of it.
