- The property at Blue Crab has been rented by JLab. Hall D will have to pay for our infrastructure inside the bay area, therefore it has to be planned carefully (Eugene).

- Brian reported on his visit at UVA. The parts at UVA, two pin rails (~2m each) and the parts of the position measurement system, are in good condition and can be used. Brian thinks that the stringing of the FDC at JLab using the UVA procedure/equipment is doable; the number of the wires is not that big to require winding machine.

- We discussed different options for the wire stringing. The main criteria we use to choose the right one are: demonstrated capabilities of producing operational wire frames, cleanliness of the facility, efforts required to adapt to machines for our purposes. The IUCF doesn't satisfy the above. For now the plan is to investigate the option of using the UVA equipment and expertise to set-up wire stringing at JLab. By chance, Drew and Brian will be at UVA tomorrow (presenting their new Si-detector for medical purposes) and were interested in looking at the UVA wire stringing equipment. Brian expressed the interest of the Detector group to investigate the possibility of having a JLab wire winding facility and one option would be to refurbish the SSC winder, now at JLab.

Most of the participants asked questions related the modifications needed to have the machine operational. These modifications need to be evaluated and compared to the ones for the UVA stuff.

Production

- Brian reported on his visit at UVA. The parts at UVA, two pin rails (~2m each) and the parts of the position measurement system, are in good condition and can be used. Brian thinks that the stringing of the FDC at JLab using the UVA procedure/equipment is doable; the number of the wires is not that big to require winding machine. Brian and Bill discussed some possible improvements related to the way the pin rails are attached to the table/ strong hold
