Hi Gerard 

That's a lovely picture - many thanks. I haven't seen Thierry for a long time - 
how is he? Did I miss him in Oviedo?

Re: [ccp4bb] photograph of Enraf-Nonius FAST detector

[Harry Powell]

Hi Ben

Thanks for this - if what you're seeing is what I get when I use that URL it's 
not quite as useful as I would have hoped! I did ask the Science Museum if they 
had any photos of kit that is not in their current photographic collection and 
they offered to take the photos for , so I declined. I might pop down to 
South Ken and see what's on public display that I can get a picture of that is 
(perhaps, I'd have to check carefully) unencumbered by their various 
copyrights...

[benjamin bax]

Hi Harry,
  I think some old stuff from Birkbeck crystallography teaching labs. went to 
science museum.

However, picture of 
Enraf-Nonius Weissenberg X-ray camera, model Y809, (X-ray diffraction camera) - 
from 1968 - does not look quite like what I remember.

Hi Pierre,

Ah, memory lane! Can you remember how long the FAST was in use on 9.6? I 
guess it was replaced by an early Mar.

Re: [ccp4bb] photograph of Enraf-Nonius FAST detector

[david lawson (JIC)]

Hi All,

In a similar vein, does anyone have a photo of the eight cassette carousel 
(ideally in situ on a beamline) that was used to collect data on film at 
Daresbury?

Many thanks,

Dave

[Pierre Rizkallah]

Hi Harry,

Please find attached a picture of the FAST that was installed on its side, at 
SRS Station 9.6. The polarisation of the synchrotron beam meant we had to move 
the theta angle in the vertical plane to get to high resolution. Enjoy.
