- No news from Fernando. Christopher has created a logbook with information about the PCB tests for each board. David suggested implementing the traveler system: a data base with some parameters for each part or operation done at a certain time. He's working on the list of the parameters and needs input from everybody.

- Cathode foils: Roger communicated with Advanced Circuits and expects today an estimate. Then he will return to the procurement the forms and the information they requested. If Advanced Circuits can provide an offer, then it will no longer be a sole source procurement. If not, it will be used as an argument for the sole source procurement.

- A Rohacell ring was glued to test the procedure and the new templates and will be used for the first new design prototype. It will be laminated to the first article g10 ring (Bill expects it at the beginning of October, maybe earlier).

- no news about the wire stringing design; Bill is busy with other things.

- There was prototyping also of the new design cathode grounding using conductive epoxy. It works except it requires a lot of epoxy which is expensive: $400 per cathode. Bill plans to try using conductive ink.

- The two granite tables are at Blue Crab, but upside down, as they were transported in this way. Mark thinks a crane is not needed, just fork lift, to put them on the legs.

- David will bring the position measurement system from UVA on Friday (08/27). We will store it in 126.    
  
 
- the two granite tables will arrive tomorrow at Blue Crab; Casey will coordinate this. We have to bring the position measurement system from UVA better by the end of next week. It is 4x4x2.5 ft and the best is to use a JLab van; Casey will talk to Tom about going to Charlottesville to bring the system. Hall A wants to use their tent in 126 for some short work; no objections. We will return the tent when we move to Blue Crab.

Tentative Agenda

  1. Production
  2. Electronics: update (Fernando)
  3. Engineering
    • Cathode foil: sole source procurement status (Roger)
    • Other: rohacell gluing, cathode grounding, update from UVA
  4. Full-scale prototype tests: update (Beni)
  5. Other
