- As of now Allflex plans to produce one set (three panels) per week starting 03/25/11. Eugene: the rate is too low and it will take almost two years. Bill: we would like to have 3 sets per week. We may use students for the foil inspection. We will ask Allflex to increase the production rate.

- Chris: expects quotation about the parts for the rigid-flexes. Sharing the space in 126: in addition to the FDC test area, Fernando has plans to set-up testing benches, and Bill needs some space too. Lubomir and Fernando will coordinate the use of the space there. Hall A will take their clean tent within a month and they need one techs from us to help. Bill: maybe there are now Hall D techs available to dismount the tent next week; will talk to Tom.

- Roger talked to Allflex about the production rate  
  
 
- Chris is working on the PR for the rigid-flex stuffing. We want to have all the flexes (615) populated. Thus we will have ~100 extra flexes in case of cathode soldering failure. We discussed once more the possibility to use one-direction-conductive tape.

Minutes

Participants: Bill, Mark, Dave, Chris, Roger, Simon, Glenn, Eugene, Beni, and Lubomir.

Production

- Dave: Today Mark Stevens and Brian Kross were at Blue Crab explaining how to cut the cathode foil. Two cuts were made using bad foils. Tomorrow they will continue with the foil gluing procedure. All the frames were inspected for mechanical tolerances. Two wire frames (out of 31) were out of specs. In one of them the o-ring groove was too deep and Bill wanted to refurbish it. The test PCB ring is ready to be laminated to the wire frame; the tooling for that is ready, as well.

- The readiness review will be on March 31 with Howard Fenker, Eugene Chudakov, Tim Whitlatch, Bruce Lenser, and Brian Kross in the review committee. Bruce wanted to have couple of weeks in advance: the specifications, drawings, and the QA plan. Bill have the assembly drawings ready by the next meeting. Dave has the QA documents. It was not clear what kind of specifications was he interested in; Eugene will talk to Bruce about that. Bill, Dave, and Lubomir discussed tentative agenda: presentations (Overview-Lubomir, Design-Bill, Production-Dave, Recovery procedures-Bill, Tests-Lubomir), Blue Crab visit, and discussions.
