CF1 Must tweak this to get correct pressure in EGA when all assembled Chuck Fellows, 1/19/2005

CF3 Measured EQM 4/28/08 Chuck Fellows, 5/16/2008

CF4 measured EQM unused #4 female and unmated cell #2 Chuck Fellows, 5/16/2008

CF5 measured 1 unmated male and two mated halves that give solid estimate Chuck Fellows, 5/16/2008
