To all interested parties - I think the information on this detector might be located at http://www.tennelec.com. However, the server is not responding right now, probably beause a lot of folks are palpitating their systems, looking for Y2K-type heebejeebes. Try later...
BTW, this site was found using a simple search on Infoseek, starting with "Oxford", and fining down one level with "detector". Total time ~5 min. The web is powerful - use it....

Oxford type something-or-other, and I have been unable to locate the thing on the web so far, in a limited search. George did some very sharp collimation with it. It does go in the chamber, behind lead foil to reduce x-ray interference.
