Differential pressure measurements across the mirror

  Four pressure taps were mounted on opposite sides of the primary mirror at four symmetrical locations (see fig. gif). The scanivalve setup was such that instantaneous pressure differences across the mirror were measured. These instantaneous pressures were then expressed as coefficients normalized by the reference external wind speed. The table gives the averages of the four taps.
