Start Counter Meeting, January 24, 2013
Minutes

    Present:
      * FIU: Werner Boeglin, Puneet Khetarpal, Eric Pooser
      * JLab: Chuck Hutton, Mark Ito (chair)

Contract

    The proposal from FIU is past due. On the other hand, Mark has
    exchanged email with Jarrod Fitzpatrick, and this situation seems less
    than dire. Werner thinks that he can come up with a draft Procedures
    and QA plan by Monday. Mark agreed to review the plan.

Counter Construction

    Eric is in contact with Chuck Hurlbut at Eljen and Robert McNeal (at
    McNeal) and is getting quotes on their respective construction steps.
    The cost from McNeal should be about the same as for the previous
    prototypes.

    Werner asked about cables for testing the counters. Mark told us that
    his understanding is that JLab will supply the cables. Mark will
    confirm that with Fernando. We decided that we would make a tentative
    plan to try to test all thirty counters at once at FIU. That will drive
    plans for lending electronics and for manufacturing cables in advance
    of installation in the Hall.

    Eric reported that Eljen is suggesting that we use EJ-200 rather than
    the EJ-212 we had planned for originally. We will order five counters
    initially, with height and width of 3 mm × 30 mm before machining.
    Including the cost of practice runs, it should come out to about $200
    per counter. Eljen says that once the order has been placed, the
    counters can be manufactured in a matter of days.

    Chuck Hutton will ask around and see how folks at the Lab have made
    sure that vendors adhere to the required shipping standards.

Assembly Drawings

    We looked at a set of drawings Chuck has done with the final dimensions
    of the start counter support structure.
