13. Questions on FLAO_02 Q: “Inspection of TS#3 magnets gluing”; what are the possible outcome of this test? What is to be checked? A: The check is performed in Arcetri after the EM acceptance test in MG-ADS and the transport of shell from MG to Arcetri. The optical side of the shell is not yet coated and it is protected with PreCote film. In Arcetri the protecting film is removed for silver coating and the gluing spots between magnets and glass are visible. We check for glue integrity (no detachment of glue from glass) FLAO system external review, Florence, 30/31 March 2009 13

14. Questions on FLAO_02 Q: in which simulated seeing condition is the test of power consumption conducted? A: median seeing: 0.65as with V wind =20m/s FLAO system external review, Florence, 30/31 March 2009 14
