[Halld-tagger] Tagger hall plans

[Alexander Somov]

Hi Fernando,

I tink that testing of TAGM should be done in the ESB. If the
detector components are here in the beginning of September,
it would take at least a week or two to assemble the TAGM. We
may consider to move the detector to the Hall just to check that
evrt fits and bring it back to the ESB.

Richard should return the VXS crate, which we can install into
the existing rack in the ESB. We'll need a control Wiener crate
and some spare cables to read out one or two fadcs.

Cheers,
        Alex
