      Review of minutes from the last meeting

We went over the minutes from the meeting on July 3 
<https://halldweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/GlueX_TOF_Meeting,_July_3,_2019#Minutes>. 


  * *Channel labels on the TOF*. Each channel in the Hall now has four
    matching labels to mark their previous location after dis-assembly:
     1. on the iron shields
     2. on the collars
     3. on the brackets
     4. on the frame
      o previously only the iron shields had labels.
  * *PMT order*. Mark ordered another 6 PMTs from Hamamatsu to bring the
    total order to 23.


      Upgrade Status


        Loose PMTs at JLab

Mark has made an inventory of PMTs at JLab 
<https://markito3.wordpress.com/2019/07/17/pmt-inventory-july-17-2019/>, 
at least those that he could find. There are five new loose PMTs that 
can be used for the upgrade. There is also one on the test module in the 
Hall that could be recovered in a pinch.


        Plan for Work in the Hall

Paul showed slides outlining the next steps in the Hall 
<https://halldweb.jlab.org/doc-public/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=4123>.

  * He requested a particular orientation of the TOF on the floor when
    it gets dismounted.
  * He gave a review of which modules will be removed and which ones
    installed.
  * He outlined the plan for replacing PMTs
      o 23 PMTs are needed beyond the batch of 25 new ones at FSU
      o Default plan is to remove the PMTs from the full-length,
        full-width counters that will be taken out of the array. There
        are 8 of these for a yield 16 PMTs. There are the 5 loose ones
        at JLab. And there are 4 on the mini-TOF at FSU for a total of
        25 PMTs.

The plan is to take down the TOF and put it on the floor on this coming 
Friday, Monday, or Tuesday depending on details of the crew's schedule. 
Paul will arrive in Newport News Tuesday night and head back on Friday 
with the PMTs as well as other construction tooling.


        Other Construction Items

  * The shipment of lumber for the construction of shipping crates
    arrived from Lowe's on Monday. There are foam insulation sheets that
    were out-of-stock for delivery that still need to be purchased.
  * There is hardware for the brackets that JLab needs to order: bolts
    for the collars, set screws for holding the PMTs.
  * Stephanie Worthington has the design for the beam-line hole box
    ready to go. She will send the drawings to Paul.
  * We will not try to implement air light guides across the beam hole
    in this go-around.
  * The last of the 4.5 cm long modules should be completed today.
  * Mark needs to add 21 PMTs (16 from TOF I, 5 loose) to the loan
    agreement.
