Subject	Topics/Agreements			Action(s) TBP	Designated People
M4 screws for bottom tray	It has been agreed that TORX + type screws (flight-like) will be used to fix bottom tray to static test fixture			Ask Jeff Tice for spare of flight M4 screws to be used for static test	John Ku
	The screws will either be sent by mail to INFN – Pisa before start of static test on first flight bottom tray, or brought by John Ku and Mark Molini in their next visit to INFN – Pisa
Tools to torque inches screws	2 bit sets, one torque screwdriver and a torque wrench (both calibrated) will be brought from the US				Mark Molini
Tool to torque flange nut	After some discussion on whether to buy the tool in the US (mainly for cost reasons) or having it built in the INFN – Pisa shop, it has been decided that it is far more convenient to buy it in the US. Actually two (2) tools will be bought, one will be mailed to INFN – Pisa, the other will be brought by Mark Molini on his next visit to Pisa			Buy two 1’’5/8 wrenches with long arms/levers	Mark Molini
Grease to be used with high loads	INFN – Pisa will procure appropriate viscous grease (thicksotropic)				Andrea Tenze Nicola Saggini
Table for computer case and monitor near granite table	The Data Logger and Power Supply will be left on granite table next to static test frame (strain gauges cables are not long enough)
	A need for real time acquisition of the load being applied has been expressed, mainly to let the operator have immediate feedback for the action he is performing			Procure appropriate OMEGADyn instrumentation/electronics	Mark Molini and/or John Ku
				Enable two (2) LAN ports next to static test area (1 reserved for guests’ computers)	Andrea Tenze Nicola Saggini
				Procure a table, possibly with wheels	Andrea Tenze Nicola Saggini
Up-side down test article installation procedure	General guidelines for procedure: - Al fixture will be placed up-side down on pipe or other hollow element to support it; - Two sidewalls at 90° will be mounted on fixture; - Foam will be used to support second tray before screwing it onto fixture. Note: foam will remain in place for the whole test; - Foam between second tray and test article will again be used to hold bottom tray in place before screwing it onto fixture. Note: foam will remain in place for the whole test; - The remaining two sidewalls will be screwed in place; - Grid simulator in place; - Flipping of entire fixture;
	Flipping to be done by hand, four (4) handles will be added to grid simulator to facilitate flipping operation
				Writing of 1^st draft of procedure (Follow up modifications/changes to be discussed by e-mail)	Nicola Saggini Andrea Tenze
Test Procedure	Reference to document MSFC-STD-486. Problems finding the document			Find the document	John Ku
Test Frame Setup procedure	SLAC will write the test plan; INFN will write the actual procedure with data from the plan.
	Make allowances for a detailed step by step checklist of setup to be filled by test operator and an eyewitness
				Prepare a log book for the static test	Andrea Tenze Nicola Saggini
Calibration of load cell				Procure a 59 kOhm calibrated precision resistance shorting circuit for quick calibration of load cell	Nicola Saggini
Second tray in test fixture	A second tray is needed for the correct execution of the static test. Also a set of spares is needed. Hytec has two (2) trays available.			Arrange shipment of Hytec trays to INFN – Pisa	Eric Swensen with Jeff Tice
				Find out how may trays are available at SLAC for this purpose and have them sipped to INFN – Pisa	John Ku with Jeff Tice
	Need to define how often shall one check for second tray integrity
Displacement Probes	Four (4) displacement probes are needed for the correct execution of the test. Three (3) are currently available
				Two (2) probes to go back to SLAC to allow correct procurement of all the necessary electronics/DAQ	Mark Molini
				Buy two (2) more probes	Mark Molini
				Hytec provides exact model of the very card used for first static test at Hytec to SLAC, including Setup of Agilent card	Eric Swensen to Mark Molini
				Remaining probe to be used to check if current probe holders allow to reach any position on test fixture	Nicola Saggini Andrea Tenze
Odds&Ends	Documentation on instrumentation/test setup			Strain Gauge certificates from Hytec to INFN – Pisa	Eric Swensen to Andrea Tenze
	Pass-fail criteria TBD ASAP
	DAQ to possibly include visual (and acoustic) alarms if limits are passed
