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/ strongback, the way the weights are attached to the wires. There were discussions about the precision of the stepper motor for the position measurements.
- not only UVA agreed to lend us the equipment, but as Prof. Nilanga Liyanage (before UVE he worked for Hall A) proposed, they want to join the Hall D collaboration and work on the FDC (great news!). As part of their contribution, Nilanga proposed to send us a student for this summer. We are discussing now the possible tasks for him.
- Glenn suggested to organize a meeting with Rusty to formulate our requirements. Lubomir will take care of this. Bill already made a floor plan and estimated some general parameters that were needed to plan the infrastructure there.
