Minutes of Feedthrough Meeting of 02 July 02
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Present: Pof, AD, ASD

Milestones:

	- ft48 and ft49 final electrical tests completed.

	- ft50 (final HEC) cold tested and passed.

	- ft51 was pigtailed.  This is the final feedthrough 
	  we can build with the current stock of pigtails.

*) PB sent the following report from CERN on Friday 26 June:

     Bob (Hackenburg) will be here on Monday. For the PT100 
     problem for BNL, it seems that all of the RJ11 connectors 
     were wired backwards.

     I have set up for the cutting of the lower funnel tubes.
     Aboud would like to try cutting the tubes with the FTs
     bolted to the crate bottom. I have made some sketches for
     brackets to hold the CF flange while cutting. I also had to
     modify two of the bellows support brackets. These items are
     in the machine shop shop here and will be ready next
     Tuesday afternoon.  

     The cryostat was rotated from the vertical to the
     horizontal. On Monday scaffolding will be put up on all
     four sides of the cryostat. We will remove one chimney for
     each of a HV feedthrough and a standard feedthrough as well
     as the outer cover to the cryostat. We will then cut one
     funnel tube and check it for length.

     The positions of the standard feedthroughs are fixed, but
     the positions of the Specials and HECs are still been
     checked. The method of numbering feedthroughs and modules
     may have been different between the different groups, as
     well as counting clock'wise vs counter clock'wise.

     The two crates of feedthroughs have not arrived yet.

*) PB sent the following report from CERN on Monday 1 July:

     Aboud would like you to bring a heater plate with you if
     that is possible.
	(Aaron will send two heater plates to Roy today by 
	courier.)

     Aboud said he will be sending out an e-mail tonight
     giving the location of the drawing showing the installed
     locations of the feedthroughs. The change that was just
     made was the location of the HEC - Special feedthroughs
     at the 10:00 and 5:00 position. It seems to me that this
     will make the cables of the HEC feedthroughs travel
     farther to reach their modules. I thought that the
     length was set very accurately. Is it possible to move a
     HEC feedthrugh over one position? Aboud said that
     someone looked into it and said it was OK.

     BNL is putting Nylon washers under the warm cables. I am
     sure that Aboud does not have any washers, do we have
     any spare that you could bring or send over to CERN.
     Nobody knows how the washers will stay on the screws in
     the 3:00 to 1:00 or 9:00 to 11:00 positions.
	(A few packs of nylon washers will be included with
	the package of heater plates.)

     BNL have installed the warm cables on one feedthrough.
     They said it was very difficult. Bob is currently doing
     the TDR testing of the cables.

*) Fiona, Wendy, and pof are leaving for CERN today.

*) No feedthrough meetings are planned for 8 July or 15 July
   since most of the crew will be at CERN or on holidays.
   Aaron will send out a report (milestones, etc) each
   of those two weeks summarizing the previous week's events.
   Next feedthrough meeting will be Monday 22 July.
