Dear Volker, Stepan and Mac:<br>
<br>
As Marco mentions below, we are approaching the time for the <br>
RICH detector work to begin in EEL 124. I've included an excerpt<br>
from the work plan here.<br>
<br>
<blockquote><b>RICH detector assembly October 2016 to July 2017</b><br>
The assembly of the detector will begin in the EEL-124 clean room
in October<br>
2016. The project team has requested an area of 36’ x 36’. This
large area is<br>
required also to perform the alignment of the mirrors inside the
detector. The area<br>
must be quipped with a 2 ton crane capacity and possibly a
forklift for the<br>
movement and installation of the various components.<br>
The assembly of the RICH will be performed by using a special
mechanical<br>
structure, anchored on the floor, on which the various components
will be<br>
mounted. The assembly structure is equipped with a winch to rotate
the RICH<br>
from the vertical assembly position to the horizontal one ready
for the<br>
transportation inside the Hall B.<br>
The assembly procedures will also include the check of the
alignment of the<br>
mirrors once they are installed and the survey of the RICH module.
For these<br>
operations, the support of the JLab survey group is requested.<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
Are your folks nearing completion of their work in the room and how<br>
soon might it be available for the RICH folks to begin?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Walt<br>

<br>
even if with some delay, the construction of the RICH is almost
done and we should be able to ship by sea during this summer.
<br>
It means that most likely in September all the material should be
stored in the CMSA.
<br>
According to the last RICH installation plan we discussed, the
assembly work should start in October. Could you please confirm
that the area we need in the EEL124 clean room will be made free?
<br>
Thanks,
<br>
Marco
