- Bill: the PR for the clean room is awaiting Teresa Danforth's signature (it's a vacation time). Bill placed a PR (that is signed already) for two granite tables with wheels to be delivered directly in 727 B.C. We will need also in total 11 formica tables for the production. Bill looked already to find some surplus tables. We could take one or two from 126. Before purchasing the rest ($500 each) we will look around to find some. On some of the tables we must be able to put 700-800lb.

- According to Tim, the PR for the clean room is awaiting Claus Rode's signature.
  
- Bill placed a PR for the g10 wire frames (30 pieces); the goal is to have them by middle of September. The template for the rochacell rings will be ready next week. The plan is to have two students (working now with Mark) working on the rochacell. Mark asked where to store the rings. Bill prefers to store them on a flat surface, maybe table. We will look to find some space for storage. Lubomir: today we got 6 more feet in EEL 126 from Hall C. After coordinating with Dave Mack, we rearranged their tables. We will use the extra space also for a new rack for the new gas equipment.

- Long discussion about the production procedures. Bill included in the Fast Track also the wire frame production, the wire stringing, and the testing of the chamber layers. The file is linked above (as jpeg) and is open for discussions and improvements. Bill asked Mark to look at the file and give his comments. 8 technicians will be involed full day and will produce one layer for 6 days, but realisticly we assume 8 days. For 30 layers it will be 240 working days. Two scientists

- Bill started working on the wire stringing fixtures. We agree that this work has highest priority right now. Bill discussed the way the wires will be pushed down locally, close to the soldering pads. His idea is to use a diffraction plate with grooves: 50 grooves/mm with about 10 microns depth. The grooves will keep the wires at the same spacing while pushing them down.
