Subject: Summary of today's TRC meeting

Thank you for a useful meeting this afternoon. It is encouraging to see 
that the measurements of the top of turn 7 on side B are much closer to 
the target values than was the case for turn 6.

Based on our discussion, my take on the near-term plan is:

1. Today: Finish winding side B and cut the cable from the spools. 
Continue installation of chill plates and ground wrap on side A.

2. Wednesday, 2/23: Flip the winding fixture first shift. Do 
measurements of the top and side of the completed side B windings. 
Determine how much compression is needed to get the top block of three 
turns to the desired height.

Thursday, 2/24: try compressing the top of the winding pack on side B 
to see if we can achieve the desired height.

Once the wheel is flipped and measurements of side B are taken, work 
can continue on finishing side B: setting the leads, etc. This will 
likely take the rest of this week with time out for the measurements 
mentioned above. Preparation of side A for winding can continue in 
parallel. The goal is to be ready to start winding side A next Monday, 
2/28

In preparation for winding side A, Steve will review the existing 
measurements of the winding form to identify places that are close to 
spec and places that are bad. Verify a "good" few places with 
additional measurements where the chill plates and ground wrap are not 
yet installed or can be temporarily removed. In these good places, make 
new measurements of the winding form with chill plates and ground wrap 
in place. Some compression of the chill plates may be needed to make 
this reliable. Compare with measurements of the bare winding form to 
see if we can predict the winding surface from the measurements of the 
bare winding form and our knowledge of the chill plate and ground wrap 
thicknesses.

Please let me know if this makes sense.

Thanks,
Brent
