Present PP,PB,TH,GV,AD,MF,RK,MarkL,RL

1. Milestones
  - No pigtails have arrived. Pof and Margret (Michel) will try
to find out if the delivery schedule we have is for delivery to ORSAY
or Victoria.
  - Machining PO's have gone out but are now on hold - no steel.
  - FCI cables are in Victoria and are being examined closely.
  - Funnels are awaiting TIS agreement on documentation.

  - An advertisement went out for a new programmer this week. It closes
next Monday.

2. Bellows
  - Bellows have arrived. We have 4 good and one with a leak. BOA
will give us a discount on the leaky one and we will use it for the
insertion module.
  - Bellows test plan is being made up by PB, RL and TH. Pb will let me
have the plan this week.
  
3.  RFQ for AXON cables is out.

4. Steel order is in trouble. The company did not make enough steel.
The good news is they have some pincarrier flats so that will not be adversely
affected. The bad news is there is no steel for flanges etc.. Terry is
seeking more information through George in purchasing.
   When the story is clear, I will contact Dave Lissauer and see what we can
do.

5. Tis has sent a draft. Only 1 out of 16 clauses causes a problem. A request
for certification with cylindrical pieces - Terry is working on this.
   - we will need to do ferrite and dye tests - no big deal.

   - Pierre is in contact with Terry about certification - it is very very
detailed.

6. Foil heater 
   - Dave Rahm has a design using something from  Minco would get glued 
onto warm flange. This work is low priority for us while we sort 
out the other problems.

7. Vacuum fitting size.
  - Roy reports that the pedestal design makes a 3/4 inch tube look 
very difficult. Roy will talk to Pierre.

8. Mark is making good progress on the design of the cable holder system
for the cold flange.

9. Terry is discussing water cooling with Aboud. (Could you please print
some drawings of the Aboud design for us).

10. Chris Oram is visiting this Friday to look over our setup and examine the
FCI cables.

11. Jim Pinfold needs a description of our electrical test equipment to see if he can contribute to the warm cables. he may visit a week from Friday.
