PNS MANUAL: Cupboard
Where to find what
Filters
Until further notice, one filter (usually filter B)
is stored in the instrument and the other two in the filter cupboard of
the INT coude laboratory. The A and C filters are in their own wooden
boxes - open with care - and these are in turn in a cardboard box ("PN.S
BOX 3"). If filter B needs to be stored, use the round plastic box in
the cupboard.
