Hi Mark,
Still have some comment on chapter 5, didn't manage to get through it
entirely, my apologies.
Cheers,

General comments :
-------------------
- In how far are the results presented here representative for the
whole running period. It is particulary suspicious if we start
quoting runnumbers for specific results. I think this is still a
point in the paper we need to address...
- Get rid of the SetLineWidth(2)... will look horrible, all the same
linewidths for the plots and use tick marks on the right vertical
and top horizontal axes.
- Suggest to make most of the plots in this chapter not as single
plots, but multi-panel plots (2x2, 2x4 etc..), so one big canvas and
equal scales on the vertical axis, so two plots next to each other,
and a couple of plots on top of each other with at the bottom one
common time axis. The title can go into the plot itself. This looks
a lot better. This needs a bit of fiddling in ROOT, ( compare with
PAW : set xwin, set ywin to something small), but i think it will
improve the looks a lot !
- Also get rid of the error bars in plots 19,20 etc... This quite
frankly looks absolutely horrible. One could have the sigma/sqrt(N)
as error accompanied by the yellow band which represents the
RMS. resolution, but this doesn't mean much. So I suggest just have
the center value and the yellow band, maybe even with the points
connected by a line...
- Plots with more than one line in them need a legend inside the
plot. 2x2, 2x4 multiplots need it just once.
Chapter 5. Results from 2006 running
- line 579 : BPM Precision -> BPM resolution
- line 582 : get rid of "in a single BPM orientation"
- line 583 : "'outer' cavities..." sounds a bit strange, need to find
a different word. "Spectator, reference", donno..
- line 584 : gaussian -> "Gaussian"
- line 585 : "... measured the overall precision of the BPMs"
-> suggest replace by : "... measured the combined resolution of
the BPMs"
- line 589 : "... is the width of the residual distribution
calculated above."
-> suggest replace by : ".. is the combined resolution."
- line 593 : get rid of "outer".
- lines 593 -> 600 : rephrase all this
- Table 10 : what is the meaning of these errors on the resolutions ?
don't really understand, get rid of them. Don't think
resolutions need to have errors on them.
- line 599 : get rid of "(a 30 min stability run)"
- line 602 : don't really understand the argument in saying that the
measured precisions for 9-11 are in agreement with the
values in Table 4 (values quoted in nm ?!). But maybe I
just missed the point around table 4... Prob. needs to
be more clear...
- line 603 : "The precision for BPM 3-5 are significantly higher"
doesn't really sound logical, would use "worse"
- line 605 : get rid of "Zygo"
- Figure 15: - line with 1
- add tick marks
- horizontal axis labels -> 1 -> 20 and not 600->1800
