- One full production cell with Viton O-rings and Apiezon applied on one side showed 75ppm (after 5 days flushing with gas) at 220ccpm gas flow. Bill got information from Servomex, the oxygen sensor manufacturer, that the flow defines the reaction time but effect on the reading is very small. With the same configuration at 110ccpm we had 114ppm, and with a flow of 55ccpm - 195ppm. These numbers can be explained if assuming the gas has 35ppm and the chamber contributes 40ppm at 220ccpm, therefore 80ppm at 110ccpm (80+35=115ppm) and 160ppm at 55ccpm (160+35=195ppm).

- Dave: for package #3 still two wire planes remain to be deadened, will do it tomorrow. Package #4: working on different cathodes, stringing third wire frame. Starting from the next wire frame we will first coat the G10 groove with Hysol and then do the stringing. The last wire frame #18, that required additional machining of the holes will be back from machine shop tomorrow.

- Dave: for package #3: wire planes 4 & 13 were deadened, now all the elements for this packag are ready. Package #4: wire planes 24 and 25 read  
  
 
- Two more cells were added to package #3 without tightening the package and tomorrow we will add another one, will have four in total. Then we will start flushing with gas and testing all four together. Normally we do the installation/testing cell by cell, but we want to save time on the flushing (5 days) and minimize the disassembling of the top end window and type-3 cathode that we have to do before each new cell installation. Bill: we take some risk with this, at least we can test the gas tightness by putting Lexan sheet on the top (after each cell installation). We will decide about this based on the experience  with the first four cells. Eugene: when we can expect the third package ready for tests; if everything is OK we will need two weeks flushing and testing the first four cells, then another 1.5 weeks for the remaining two cells and one more week for HV cabling, pre-amps and cooling tubes and grounding.
