The calpol rotator barrel itself is much more refelctive (anodized AL) than the baffle (rough matte black ). So this seems unlikley to help. But there is some hope because the barrel is recessed away from the beam a few mm to a few cm w.r.t the baffle plate. ___end___ KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Fri Oct 27 23:09:45 GMT 2017 Kcor is seeing heavy aersosols.
