Production

- Dave: Two cathode frames type 3 (with ground planes with holes) are assembled waiting for the rigid-flexes and ground wires to be glued on them. One wire frame was strung, the wires glued and now being soldered. Expect to be ready by the end of the day, then we will do position and tension measurements. We started also cutting foils for the third cathode plane and the second wire frame is also ready.

- We discussed the configuration needed to test the first chamber: end window, cathode type 3, wire plane, cathode type 3, end window, plus empty frames to make the same thickness as of the full package. We will use the plastic gussets. Bill wanted first to do gas leakage tests
