Project Engineers

   The meeting was attended by Chuck Hutton and Tim Whitlatch, 
   engineers from the Accelerator Group who will be working on the
   FDC system.
 - Brian gave an overview of the FDC system and the design work.
   They were given the task of producing 3D mechanical drawings of
   the FDC system.  They will have first drawings by our next
   meetings.

Mechanical Cathode Sandwiches

   We discussed the time line for completion of the two cathode
   mechanical sandwiches.  We want these constructed by the end of
   the year with some flatness measurements completed.
 - Brian will find a manufacturer for the full-scale flex boards.
 - Brian will talk to Jeff Wilson about designing the dummy cathode
   boards.
 - The boards need to go out for manufacture within two weeks.
 - Brian will think about the measurement techniques.

Daughter Boards

   DSC will follow up on the ASIC preamp daughter boards.  We need
   to specify the connector size and daughter board size (and
   thickness constraints).
