- The company will start bringing materials for the clean room on Nov 24. The AC for the whole area will be installed by Dec 7. Before that for the lamination we will use mostly the office (low humidity <40%) and the granite tables outside for vacuum bagging if the humidity is low. That was not the case today.

- We got all the wire frames (32) and spacer rings (30). 17 wire frames laminated; 14 are back at Vision machine for fly cut.

- Chris: by Wednesday we will have all the PCBs populated. The company sent two pictures (link above) showing delaminations on two of the boards. They claim the delamination was there when the boards arrived. But Chris would have seen it!? Roger: the heating cycle they use may cause delamination. Chris will ask

the company for information about this.

- Fernando: the first article signal cables will arrive by mid November and Chris is working on a board to be used for testing. The solder material (japanese) recommended from UVA is no longer available. Chris ordered similar materialial from other company to exercise. Working on the sole source procurement of the ASICs. Fermilab is also intersted in the same ASICs and Fernando discussed if we can share with Fermilab the costs
