Figure 1: Tilt in Right A-frame; azimuths of track joints indicated by dashed lines

 
Figure 2: Roll in " of TMU and A-frames during CW rotation of antenna

 
Figure 3: Pitch of TMU and tilts of A-frames

 
Figure 4: The difference between two CW inclinometry datasets from the right A-frame, showing a step at azimuth 142.

 
Figure 5: CW-CCW data from the left A-frame, showing systematic, 14-hump, differences.

 
Figure 6: Tilt -vs- azimuth : `direct' inclinometry

 
Figure 7: Resulting track profile

 
Figure 8: . . after subtraction of a best fitting plane.

 
Figure 9: Leica track profile.

 
Figure 10: Inclinometry data showing the effects of the antenna wheels moving over shims placed on the track.

 
Figure 11: Strip recorder trace (signal strength) of a source being tracked across the track joint at azimuth 142, where wheel 2 goes over the joint between track segments 14 & 1. Calibrations show that the resulting maximum pointing error is 6". (Data from report of 950215)
