Minutes for the meeting on Monday, 9 August, 1999.

Present: RL/MR/GV/PB/RK/MF/PP

1) Aaron was unable to attend the meeting to give
   a full report on progress with the feedthrough 
   production timeline.  In a nutshell, Aaron is
   now working with MS Project 98 (a newer version
   than what he was working with earlier) which 
   apparently has at least some features which
   makes the job easier, although some of the
   difficulties discussed at last week's meeting
   remain.
   
2) Greg produced a document summarizing the status
   of testing jigs.  That document is included here:

1	Make jig that accommodates the VCR vacuum fitting
        on the warm flanges
	- Jig has been desinged
	- requires two Stainless steel rings 1/2"
	Status:  Waiting on material

2	Modify base plate of warm leak test station 
        for leak testing cold flange.  
	- Due to new flange designs, the cold flange OD 
          is larger and so the test station requires 
          modifications.
	Status:  Complete

3	Make alignment tool for assembly jig to accommodate
        the notch on the bellows seal ring.
	- No new material needed
	Stautus:  In progress

4	Design and make rotating sling to maneuver the
        completed feedthrough assemblies between horizontal
        and vertical orientations.
	-Design has been completed
	Status:  ---Need to ask Aaron---

5	Modify the assembly jig #1
	- Clearance of the 150mm CF flange and 4" channel 
          mounting needed
	Status: Complete

6	Modify assembly Jig #2
	- Need to add 4" Channel and make crank for 
          rotating fixture
	Status:  ---Need to ask Aaron---  

7	Leakcheck large pigtail bucket
	- waiting for vacuum station modifications to 
          be completed
	Status: On hold

8	Various modifications for vacuum station
	- Designs have been completed
	Status: Waiting for completion of two thermal tests.

9	Cut Rohacell to required shapes
	- Designs complete
	- Will require some sort of cutting for production,
          eg, Rule Die
	Status:  On hold

10	Make holding fixture to machine copper gaskets
        for the bottom of the cold funnel for cold leak 
        checks.
	- Designs complete
	Status:  Complete

11	Make beam crane for second I beam. 
	- Designs complete
	- waiting on winch, rope and angle steel
	Status:  Waiting on material

12	Pressure Test Bellows
	- Designs complete
	- Construction of test equipment complete
	Status:  Waiting on Bellows

13	Design / Order crates for shipping feedthroughs
	Status:  Not Started

14	Insulate Large pigtail bucket with external styrofoam
	- Designs complete
	- No new material needed
	- Need to wait until bucket is leakchecked, 
	- can't be done until changes to vacuum station 
          are complete
	Status:  On hold

15	Insulate small pigtail bucket
	- Designs complete
	- No new material needed
	Status:  Construction to be started this week

16	Make Pin carrier protector plates, approx. 40 of each
	Status:  Complete

17	Design method to add thermalcouple inside bellows
	Status:  Not started

18	Make new fixture to leakcheck bellows
	- Designs complete
	- Requires: 11" ID O-ring to clamp on outside 
                        of cuff ring.
	            (1) Alum plate 3/4" x 350mm dia. and
	            (1) Alum ring 3/8" x 350 dia.
	Status:  Waiting on material

3) Roy reported that the `detail drawings' are
   98% complete.  Most of what remains is feedback
   from PB, GV, and AD (who now have copies of the
   drawings) and also the design of the cable
   clip for pigtail strain relief.  Roy pointed
   out that these `detail drawings' are the highest
   priority.  Mark is still tied up with TRIUMF
   work, but should be able to start work on the
   assembly drawings by mid week.  We are still
   on track to finish all drawings by 1 September.

4) Work is in progress by Richard, Margret and Pof on 
   technical and legal documents to be included with 
   the RFQ for the Berg vacuum cables.


The next feedthrough meeting will take place on monday,
16 August at 10:00.  The proposed agenda is:

1) (Aaron) Update on feedthrough production timeline.

2) (Aaron and Greg) Brief update on the status of
   testing jigs (ie, fill in the bits of information
   missing from the list above).

3) (Roy, Mark, Paul, Aaron, and Greg) Drawings update.

4) (Terry) Brief update on correspondence with TIS 
   regarding welding test requirements.

5) AOB. 

6) Agenda for meeting on 23 August.
