 Definitions of the numbers listed in Summary table:
N(total) = number of chambers to be worked or reworked at CERN in phase I
N(finished) = number of chamber that have been finished
N(this week) = number of chamber finished this week

1.  Summary table
 
            N(total)         N(finished)           N(this week)
UM             80                   80                    0
UW             80                   80                    0
BMC            80                   54                    6
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Total         240                  214                    6
                                                                            
2. Chamber finished this week:

  BMC:  EIL1A01, EIL1A05, EIL1A13, EIL1C05, EIL1C15, EIS1A12
  (just finished analysis data for the last two chambers) 

3. Chambers in progress

  BMC chamber
    EIL1A09:  Copper tubing to ETs installed and flushed gas. 
    EIL1C03:  Copper tubing to ETs installed
    EIL1C07:  Copper tubing to ETs installed.
    EIL2A07:  taking cr data
    EIL1A09(h8 chamber): one dead channel found and is tracing the
                         reason of dead.
 
  UW:
    8 BIM chambers that will be attached to EIL4
    Gas leak certification of the chambers.
 
4. Problems and other issues

  a) We almost have no chambers to work with due to the breakage of the
  crane in the storage bldg for BMC chambers. Fortunately, a shipment
  with 10 chambers arrived in time and we directly unload them in bldg
  184 and keep us going.
 
  c) A guy in the crane team is a beginner, we observed how the
  chambers swings when he was operating the chamber yesterday
  afternoon. I remined the other experienced operator. we should help
  watch how they handle chambers in bldg184.

  d) Ar gas was running out last night and we won't have it until this
  afternoon.

  e) The door to CMS bldg is fully open again this morning. We once
  more ask you all working at BLDG to pay atention not to forget shut
  the doors in bldg 184 before going home. We have many expensive
  tools and equipments in bldg 184 and loss any of them will bring
  negative effects to our work. So please pay attention and help us to
  shut ALL doors before you leave.
