Minutes of Feedthrough Meeting 18 Mar 02

Present ML, RK, AD, WW, PB

*) Milestones:

	- Finished electrical tests of FT 31

	- Finished cabling of FT 33

	- Feedthrough 33 was welded and dye penetrant tested

	- Feedthrough 32 was cold tested, it passed all tests.

	- Started installation of the pigtails of FT 34


*) One pin carrier in Warm Flange 43 had a leak of 1.5 x 10-8. The pin
   carrier will be machined out and replaced.

*) Payment to BNL for the steel used in the pin carriers has been
   completed.

*) Another request for a bill for the pigtails has been made to Orsay. The
   person involved was away on vacation.



Report from CERN from Paul Pof, 18 Mar 02


*) ECC will not arrive at CERN before Wednesday (stuck in traffic...)

*) The barrel "bulge" was repaired today by a crew from Kawasaki;
   testing will begin tomorrow.

*) The leak in the WF/SR weld on ft13 has been confirmed, and
   arrangements made with Allain Gonidec to have repaired early during the
   April LARG
   week.

*) 27 of 29 ft's at CERN now fully tested; the tests on ft20 (the
   designated spare) are not yet complete, and of course ft13 requires
   some repair and retesting.

*) 25 ft's have been officially received by CERN.  The four exclusions
   are ft13 and ft20 which still require repairs/tests, and ft16 and
   ft26 which each are missing a page from their traveller sheets which
   must be copied and brought over from Victoria.

*) Latest estimate for ECC ft integration (from Aboud) is mid June
   (definitely not before beginning of June) and for ECA ft integration
   (from Pierre) beginning of 2003.
