Stephen,

I think the 1200 MeV racetrack was your idea as it allows the 
electromagnets in the West Arc to be used as is.  I have no objection to 
altering it.

I sent the document out in the hope that the group could arrive at a 
consensus by noon Friday and get started on writing the FOA response on 
the basis of that consensus.  Although I'd like some weasel-words in the 
response in case we come up with a much better idea than the present 
baseline A+1 ;-)

I am pleased to learn that window-frame magnets big enough to fit over 
the permanent magnets can provide roughly the necessary steering fields. 
  I trust they have a steel return outside the picture frame so the 
return fields from the first FFA's steerers don't affect the second 
centered 50 cm below.

I'm not 100% familiar but I think there are "piezo" movers that can be electrically operated to expand and contract over such small distances.  Although levers and gears and motors would be possible too...

So that's another possibility.  And those correctors were only 10-15cm long, same as the magnets.  For CEBAF FFA, our magnets are order of 2m long.  The permanent magnet is transparent to the field from the windowframe outside.
