Comments from Harvard (Kenyon)

Here is a summary of the survey of Magellan instruments. We had 16
responses. All respondents did not vote for every instrument.

Most instruments end up with an average of 'M'. To make a finer
rank, I computed averages as shown in the last column of the
first table.  In the second table, I list the number of 'H'
ranks for each instrument.

best wishes

average grade uses H = 3, M = 2 , L = 1

Ranking by number of 'H' only:
