<b>Subject: </b>[EXTERNAL] RICH patch panels construction</p>
</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Marc,<br>
we need to start the production of the patch panels soon. Apart from <br>
possible small modifications for the new sensor connectors, they should <br>
be the same of RICH-1.<br>
The full set of drawings are in our wiki page:<br>
<a href="https://clasweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/RICH_Construction">https://clasweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/RICH_Construction</a><br>
<br>
Discussing with Dario and Sandro, we decided that is would be more <br>
convenient to produce the panels by a US company<br>
In fact, sizes, threaded holes and so on in the drawings are quoted in <br>
the US standard units and it would be complicated to have it done <br>
properly by an Italian company.<br>
<br>
Could you please indicate one US company that can do the job in <br>
reasonable time, say by the end of the year?<br>
My plan would be to have at least a preliminary quotation to secure the <br>
money by mid of November, then the PO procedure could be completed later <br>
on.<br>
Thank you<br>
Marco<o:p></o:p></p>
