    AFAIK, there is no real handling of the Silicon strips as of yet in
    BRAT. This Friday, I did commit a "BrDigitizeMultSi" class to
    BRAT. 
    
    The assumtion in that class is, that all the output from the 
    7(signals*strips/wafer) * 6(wafers/ladder) * 4(ladders) = 168(signals)
    are put into one array, where the array index is the identifier. The
    numbering is assumed to be: 
    
      Starting farthest from FS, and at the top most ladder, number the
      strips 0-41. 
      Then, again starting farthest from FS, go to the veritcal oriented
      ladder, farthest from MRS, and number these 42-83. 
      The third ladder is the bottom-most, farthest from MRS, and has the
      numbers 84-125, and finally the last ladder contains the strips
      126-167. 
    
    This mapping may be totally inappropiate. In fact, I could envision a
    mapping, were, starting farthest from the FS, you go around in
    circles. This would emphazie the different pseudo-rapdity bins, rather
    then the physical arragement in ladders. 
    
    Anyway that's my humble opinion. The reason why I didn't adopt these
    scheme in "BrDigitizeMultSi", was because I though you already had
    made a mapping, and it was the one I used in that class.  
    
    By the way, does anybody know where I can find the geomtry of MultSi
    and MultTiles? What I want to know is the global position with respect
    to nominel vertex, and dimensions of the strips and tiles. You see, I
    want to calculate the pseudo-rapidty bin corresponding to each
    strip/tile. The only places to look, I can think of, is the web page,
    where I found nothing I'm afraid, or in the GBRAHMS code, which I'd
    rather not. 
    
    Thanks,
