In old WCSim collection efficiency wasn't accounted for - effectively set to 100%. When adding new B&L PMTs, Hamamatsu gave data both of overall relative efficiencies ( = QE x CE x HE) and values for specific QE, HE and CEs for the new (and old) PMTs.

B&L PMTs were added with all appropriate properties, but for old 20" PMTs CE had effectively been absorbed into 'tuning'. To leave 20" results unchanged, but still give the correct relative response of B&L vs 20", B&L QEs had to be artificially increased.

=============

However.

Open question: where is this tuning?
