7.3 The Source Runs<br />

layers <strong>of</strong> plastic bags <strong>and</strong> black felt to prevent light from entering. It cannot be excluded<br />

that the direction was turned a little bit during this procedure.<br />

- When pulling up the lever arm to measure <strong>of</strong>f-axis-points, the vertical part <strong>of</strong> the steel<br />

rod was no longer perfectly vertical, but slightly tilted. This introduces an additional<br />

uncertainty in the position.<br />

Due to these effects, the relative error in the nominal position is estimated to be<br />

¡Ü ¡Ý ¦ Ñ for <strong>of</strong>f-axis-points<br />
