Re: Comments on slides



Hall D PID Mail List:

Hi,

It is probably a bit late but by going over your talk, Tim, I noticed the 
use of SI units (kg,cm) and English units (lbs., inch) together. Sometimes 
you give a conversion other times not. In general, should we not decide to 
use one kind of units (SI)?

Cheers,
 	Yves
