Minutes of feedthrough meeting of 23 September, 2002.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Present: Pof, PB, FH, ML

*) Milestones:

	- ft54 (the second FCAL) has been cold tested, and the
	  final cross talk tests have been completed.

	- ft52 is being cold tested today (23 September).

*) Laurent Serin provided the following information regarding the
   remaining pigtail cables in a 26 September email:

  - The 4 T48 you shipped to Orsay are at Axon but up to now
    we have no date for return after repair.

  - I have 6 T48 at LAL and not shipped to you because : 

    - One had a missing measurement
    - The 5 others are correct for time measurement criterias
      but have one channel 5 % off for the amplitude, always
      channel 32. My guess is a bad contact on the setup not
      the cable but I have no way to measure it at LAL.

   Laurent's email was followed a few hours later with another:

      I have finally find a way to measure manually the T48s
      not with a very good accuracy but enough to reproduce
      Axon measurement observation if any (5 of them had the 
      amplitude of channel 32 lower by 5 % in the axon measurement)
      Today I have not observed such an effect.  
      For the last one the final measurement at Axon was missing,
      I have not observed any problem in my measurement. 
       So my suggestion will be to ship you these 6 harnesses and 
      maybe with your setup can measured them again before using
      them. Do you agree ? 

   I have responded that the six T48 pigtail cables should be shipped
   to us, and we will do full cross talk as well as precision 
   resistances tests on the cables before installing them into our
   final feedthrough ft53.

*) Aboud sent us an email informing that the pedestal large holes will be 
   shifted by 3.5mm external relative to the f-t warm flange axis.  He
   asks whether this shift will be in conflict with the heaters or other 
   components installed on the warm flange periphery.  I replied that
   there are two heaters already at CERN, and Aboud should feel free to
   use them to check the fit.  Depending on the exact nature of the shift, 
   it could indeed be tight.

*) We had a discussion on the inventory of spare parts that will be
   left over after completion of the last feedthrough.  Although we
   obviously must keep some stock for the possibility of future repair
   work, we might consider allowing some components (eg, pincarriers) 
   to be sold; there has already been some interest expressed by
   outside groups.  We also must decide how much of the building jigs
   and test equipment should be kept intact for possible repair work.
   Pof will check with Bob Hackenburg on BNL's plans for future repair
   readiness.

*) Twelve feedthroughs are to be shipped to Geneva on Friday 4 October,
   to arrive while pof and Fiona are present at CERN.
