1 Committee organization and procedures
1.1 Approval of the Agenda

Motion to amend the agenda to include screen diagonal for projection tubes was added by Bill Rowe and the Agenda was unanimously approved.


1.2 Membership and attendance

Self-introductions were made, attendance taken, and it was determined that a quorum was present. There were some committee membership changes: William J. McLaughlin retired; Ted Simpson retired; Derek Brannon replaces Robert Morse as the new voting member for Hitachi. Action item

1.3 Approval of the Minutes

Motion to approve the corrected 12 Sept 2000 JT-6 minutes (the date of the meeting is 14 Jan 2001 not 15 Jan 2001). Motion to approve. Seconded. Motion carried to approve minutes.

1.4 Correspondence

EDSC report: Linda Coyle succeeded Mr. Moffit as chair of JT-7
Plastic laminates and CRT testing will be discussed at the following TC39 meeting, 16-17 Jan 2001 in Scottsdale.

1.5 Review of Committee's Scope

No review of committee scope needed.

2 International Standards

CRT publication, IEC-61965 on impact testing was published.
IEC-60139 should be published shortly.
IEC-61965 was approved for publication.

3 Standards and Document Review
3.1 TEP106-C, "Worldwide Type Designation System" (WTDS)

Mike Chenoweth recommended that the document be submitted for publication. Bill Rowe asked the Committee to review the document for formatting and return comments by 9 February to him for final editing. The Committee voted unanimously to ballot TEP-106C on a 30 day EIA letter ballot, pending final editorial comments, for publication as an EIA standard. Action item.

3.1.1 WTDS Electronic Registry

In December, Mr. Stamp distributed a tube registration template (in MS WORD) with imbedded illustrations to the Committee. .

The Committee felt that the use of a template does not necessarily apply to all needs. Mr. Goldman felt that a scan rendition of the CRT component should be electronically available. Messrs Chenoweth and Rowe felt that a mathematical equation could properly describe the shape of the CRT component. However, the disparity of various ways of describing the component represents a problem. One solution is to use a pdf file as the conduit of the CRT information. The goal would be to bring recommendations to the Spring meeting for determining the best electronic information system for describing CRT components. IGIS formulation may be too limited. Mr. Rowe recommended that the members' query their individual company IS experts on mechanical description and obtain suggestions for future discussion.

The next WTDS meeting will probably be held in the fall in Canada as volunteered by Temo Saarinen; in conjunction with TC39. It was recommended that the ECA electronic registration should be coordinated with other registration groups, e.g., ProElectron, EIAJ, and EIAK.

3.2 CRT Glossary - Update of TEP-192 "Glossary of CRT Terms & Definitions" (SP-2647)

The Committee discussed the reedited document, and then the Committee then voted unanimously to ballot the revised document, TEP-192-A on a 30 day EIA letter ballot for publication as an EIA standard. Action item.

4 Task Force for Machine Readable Glass Markings

Mr. Watson reported on the meeting of 30 Nov. 2000 with a consensus on marking of CRTs that includes manufacturing code, item identification, and a unique serial number for 7 y. In preparation for the document, ECA will send copies of the style manual (preferably in electronic form) to Messrs Watson and Chenoweth. Action item.

5 New Business

The committee had no new business to cover.

6 Next Meetings

The next meeting will be at the SID meeting in San Jose, CA; the meetings should not be scheduled to conflict with any SID CRT sessions. Mr. Tolliver recommended Tuesday for the JT-6 and Wednesday for the JT-32 with the JT-31 meeting somewhere in between. Mr. Tinkleman will make arrangements with Palisades for meeting rooms at the SID conference. Action item.

7 Adjournment

The Committee moved, seconded, and unanimously agreed to adjourn at 11:10AM.
