    Yes, I did watch, and posted a detailed description on
    this list few days ago. However at this moment I don't see this message
    posted.
    If I find a copy I will try to post it again.

    This also looks strange to me.
    Maybe this was not the backslash after all,
    (the guy who did adjustment did not speak English.

    So far I only managed to measure the index error
    after my visit to Freiberg. It is -0.6' now.
    (Before it was 0 consistently from October 2004 till
    my visit to Freiberg).
    Another thing I notice is that the screw rotates more
    smoothly after the Freiberg adjustment.

    But I am puzzled with this whole business.

    Alex.
