Minutes of meeting		     held on 25th September 1998present:  DJAC, ALL, KWB, PSF, RMB, MS, BWKALL  -	Stepper motor finally driven from LabVIEW 	(RS232 transmit/receive problem)	Problems getting parts required to build into proper system (stores	no longer have the necessary parts)	Electrical testing in test beam area.	to do - check out hodoscope for return of ISIS beam.KWB  -	OPAL run coordinator work.NB.	Ken asked about the programme of work in the near future.	Hodoscope needs including into trigger	The ISIS beam daq system needs checking out with PWO762	The mini SC will be back on 5th Oct, when all nine crystal + VPT	assemblies need testing in beam.	Three crystal + VPT to go to John Connolly	Two VPTs to be removed and studied, one very good, one rather poor	Crystal(s) to be checked with PMT	Crystal(s) to be checked with 1" VPT	One crystal to be depolished on one side then retested	Check reflectivity, wrapping/no wrapping (depolished crystal)PSF  -	Glass conference paper well received	Talked to several people regarding non-oxide glasses, some had tried	scintillating glasses, all had given up, not commercially viable.	The inconsistency of output in the blocks could have been due to oxide	states, particularly Hafnium 3+	Paper written with Peter Hobson, back from referees, needs more work.	Helped to put into good English the Royal Society paper from Valentine	Thesis, no work this last week.RMB  -	Last week CMS week	This week follow up from CMS week	Royal Society paper needed financial information	Reading Kate's thesis	Signed order for next prototype ET VPTs	Was unable to go on visit to Electron Technologies (Ken Peach and	Derek Imrie went)it seem they are interested in getting more involved	than just producing the VPTs (for all practical purposes Electron	Technologies is same as Electron Tubes)MS   -	Did some more correcting of Haider's second report, on the small coil	work and e-mailed them to him	Modified the 1.8T magnet test box for full photo-cathode illumination	Finally managed to speak to Adrian Marsh and arrange to collect a	tested Stephenson amp	Sorted the problem, of the failure to arrive, of the LabVIEW driver for	the Hytec 1330 PC to CAMAC interfaceBWK  -	Tidying up the Royal Society paper	Have Gillian's report on the work she did on LabVIEW	Simulation work, debugging CMSIM, running jobs to verify that	conclusions haven't changed as result	HCal video conference	Next week, CERN 'till Wednesday	PPESP preparationsDJAC -	Interactions with Technology Department after CMS week	Model of support plate now back in R12, with modified arrangement	10 card readout crate now available, fits on voltage distribution	crate with just two connectors, no wires/cables. Being taken to CERN	for ECal week	Agendas for ECal week	Arrangements for visit to lab in building 27, ECal week	JFC has now done outline of planning for super crystals over the next	two years (to end 2000)Martin Sproston  25th September 1998
