Attached is the TPC locations relative to the magnet coordinate system. 

Result of survey on TPC and TPC Wheel positions (alpha is rotation around X, beta is rotation around Y, and gamma rotation around Z, in the STAR coordinated system)

The East Wheel (== TPC) : the difference in rotations with respect to 2023 survey  are practically the same within 0.1 mrad, there are shifts ~0.2 cm in X, Y, and Z
 
One more measurement: From the STAR Inner/Outer sector drawing we know distance between the sector holes:

Distance between holes Outer Sector 26.005" = 66.027 cm        ~/Documents/Documents - Yuri/STAR Notes/Tpc Drawing/24A0205B\ Outer\ Sector\ Assembly.dwg
                                      Inner           25.280" = 64.211 cm        ~/Documents/Documents - Yuri/STAR Notes/Tpc Drawing /24A0335\ Inner\ Sector\ Assembly.dwg
The average distance between holes for the West and East sectors are;

West Inner:  dR = 64.3428 - 64.211 = 0.1318 cm 
East Inner:   dR = 64.3212 - 64.211 = 0.1102 cm
 
West Outer:  dR = 66.1266 - 66.027 = 0.0996 cm
East Outer:   dR = 66.2869 - 66.027 = 0.2600 cm 






i.e. the distance between holes from the survey are ~0.1 cm larger than from the drawings (?).
I don't understand a reason for this difference.
