Production

- Dave: The first exercise on making cathode foils was successful; for that we used two damaged panels, but made one extra cut on one of them. To exercise the cathode tensioning we need to glue the third panel but we can use just a Kapton piece. Temporary lights have been installed in the "dirty" area. The stringing table soon will be ready and will be moved inside the clean room. The granite plate ("monument") in 126 that was used for flatness measurements will be moved to the clean room, as well.

- The clean tend at 126 was dismounted and the parts will be moved away by the end of the week. To plan the space in 126 one can use the pdf drawing, linked above.

- For the readiness review both, a wiki page (linked above) and a secure website (linked to wiki) were created. There's folder with preliminary documents where we will put all the procedures, drawings and additional information. The talks also must be uploaded well before the review. Bill is working on the drawings. Dave has the most important procedures approved and is working on the remaining. Lubomir will help him with some of the procedures.
