Quick VPT Test Rig meeting - minutes

Date of meeting: 6 September 2002

Venue: RAL

Present: B Kennedy, L Lintern, M Sproston, J Williams

1. Status of rig: New version of software in use - still needs some developent to handle overcurrent errors.  MS is ready to move the switching box out of the control room.  Row 3 needs some extra cables and a little further development before installation.  ALL has finished the lids for row 4.
2. Visual inspection: 100 of the latest batch now inspected - initial impression is favourable.  Cathodes are generally uniform, and off-centre grids seem less common than previously.
3. Brunel: PRH requests another batch of 60 tubes for high-field testing.
