- Dave: wire board #20 (first cell of the 3rd package) is ready for wire deadening; waiting for the microscope results from Olga to make sure the new timing/currents for electroplating is OK.

- Dave: wire board #20 (first cell of the 3rd package) is ready for wire deadening; waiting for the microscope results from Olga to make sure the new timing/currents for electroplating is OK. Wire board #21 ready for tension measurements, wire board #22 ready for stringing, wire board #23 was laminated. Cathodes: the two type-3 two tyoe-1 and one type-2 ready.

- Casey is modifying the frame to install the second package on the rotational brackets (taken from the first package, see discussions later). After the second package is moved the tooling needed for the third package will be installed in the testing room. It includes 14 hubs and three metal pins to be taken from package #2. Package number #2 will remain with three metal pins and plastic rods only.

- Testing wire deadening with new diameter for the last two packages: Bill recalculated the currents/timing and one sample was made. It turned out the surface looks more rough that before (see microscope picture attached). Bill will add another electro-polishing cycle to smooth the surface and will try it on another sample.

- First package moved to EEL 126 on Monday; some problems discussed below.

- Gas problems: initially it was bubbling at >220ccpm (compared to 40-50ccpm at Blue Crab), but there was no obvious gas leakage except some (1x10^-4 on the leakage detector scale) at the southern side where the input gas connectors were. Today the input and output connectors were swapped and the problem almost disappear, which indicates the leakage was somewhere at gas connectors. Has to be found and fixed later!

- HV problems: the CAEN HV supply module has current resolution of 500nA   
  
- All the pre-amp cards and cooling tubes were put on the first package. All HV cables were routed on the package and Chris made the connections to the HV connector (see attached pictures). All positive HV cables are bundled on the upper side of the package and all the negative HV run on the down side. To help the installation the package was installed on the supporting frame to allow its rotation.
